FYI, rubber tires provide no protection against a lightning bolt (tens of thousands amps, tens of thousands degrees). You're "safe" (can still get injured) from lightning inside a metal, hard-top vehicle because it's a faraday cage. Same reason you're safe inside an airplane that gets struck.

+1 for Derek. He was as high as 12th the first moto. Not sure if he had bike problems or just petered out, but he definitely has the speed. 2nd moto he came from 30th to 19th. Even if it's just for a race or two, I'd love to see him given that opportunity.

If you haven't already, please take a few minutes to read about the bill, why its a piece of garbage, and then possibly do something about it (sign Google's petition, mail/call your congressman, share on facebook, etc...).

Sounds good in theory, but it doesn't really work. My buddy and his dad tried it. Hearing it was no issue, but the moment the dad spoke, the rider crashed. Racing a dirtbike requires far too much concentration for it to work properly.

That's not the issue. The issue is how they want to go about it. Having this bill passed would allow Big Content to shut down any site they feel like.
