    I got an idea: I've started dozens of threads with my own thoughts and observations. I've had the courage to put my words and my life "out there" for the general consumption of the forum. My threads have been fodder for all of your comments. Jared, you said the thread was trashy yet you're...

    That should say diminishing returns in the first post and "at least" in the second

    AT&T least they make the attempt to dismiss anecdotes. At present the scientific method is the best we humans have for discriminating good and bad information

    Going to college got both my kids discounts. Phd and MD come under the heading of finishing returns

    Amazing! T84A and I agree on something. This is an author I found very useful. Most of what he has written I even read a second time. If I recall he is a journalist that actually went from writing to racing. The racers didn't take him seriously at first but he became quite good.

    Brilliant! This is what I have been saying. Read and evaluate for yourself what is useful. God did not write these books and very little in the motorcycle literature is double blind placebo controlled peer reviewed information. It is, on the other hand, substantially anecdotal. Thank you for...

    That's the problem. You apparently have very little education outside of Keith Code Books. Go talk to an insurance broker. You have made it so I have little interest in educating you. If you read through the posts carefully you will see that you have claimed yourself to be a better rider than...

    The post is designed to have you think for yourself. When you applied for auto insurance they asked you what was your highest level of education. For Jared P and T84A it was high school. The reason for this is that higher education correlates with safer driving. There are a lot of statistics...

    BTW, will someone please tell me what all these "BAD HABITS" are that everyone but Keith Code and T84A seem to have. Please be specific. I'm curious to know how against all odds so many of us have survived with these bad habits.

    Then show me the sheepskin from that Ivy League Institution big guy. Groupies and higher education are mutually exclusive in my experience.

    Just because we don't agree with you doesn't mean the thread took a dive.

    If I recall correctly David Hough had no "proper" training and learned most of what he knew on his own. As Eric said, if you think you need 20 books and 18 classes to be safe on a bike there's nothing wrong with that. But a lot of us learned a ton in the saddle. Dustin, I hope we can meet so you...
