Try this on you bike and then speak. Put the choke on and then without touching the throttle slowly start letting go of the clutch in first. See what happens. Do the same on a car. Observe the difference.

As far as the helmet laws, also, remember, that if you are not wearing one and you crash, you are going to die. It's that simple. So, the state actually saves a lot of money by NOT having people wear a helmet when they crash. People without helmets save me and you money, because any one stupid enoug...

puck off :) lol Are you telling me to "fudge" off while laughing out loud, or do you feel the need to use :) and "lol" while telling other guys to "fudge" off because you are a 12 year old asian girl? And any way, why the anger? I wasn't really talking to you, was I. N...

Jet style full face helmet?

I am looking for a Jet style (http://www.webbikeworld.com/r2/motorcyc ... airoh-tr1/) helmet, but I am not a fan of modular helmets. Any good helmets in that style?

Why are you so high and mighty that you think that every one other then you is riding beyond their skill level. Choke on a bike works different from a choke on car, and indeed can cause you to crash.

The guy might be a perfectly safe and responsible rider in all other respects.

Killing one self is a natural right, just because you do not think it's proper for you does not make you the judge of what is good for me. And how about a 16 year old plowing his Ninja 250 into the same mini? Or his 1980s camaro? You want to be safe, and you think that every one should value safety ...

Don't use the choke, adjust the idle and rev the engine up every now and then. Keeping the choke on will cause problems with the bike and also can cause you to crash.

Assisted suicides are illegal for sure, and attempted suicides, while not punished directly, are in fact punished through involuntary commitments. So, for instance, I can not kill my self openly. Federal government constitutionally can not control suicides, you are right, the states are left to thei...

No responsible adult would take your position. Responsible adults do try to protect sixteen year olds from killing themselves. Once you turn 21 then you have rights but suicide is illegal in most jurisdictions so that isn't one of them. The fact that suicide is illegal in US is a travesty all in it...
