- And more to the point, the fact that said BDI was a motorcyclist
- was *important*: It made the BDI's actions that much more
- potentially terminal.

- Well, on this one, Geoff, you ain't getting out enough. I've been
- using the term "cager" for a good many years now, as a general
- term for that class of motorist who hates/attempts-to-flatten
- us bikers.

-
- Ahem. It is true that we bikers must accept a heightened risk
- in exchange for the pleasure we receive from riding.
-
- However, considering the incompetence frequently shown by the
- average motorist, I'd have to say that jail is too good for them.
- Hanging is probably to good for them.

- as an enlightened and civilized alternatice to penal
- incarceration.
