    Just for the record.... I never heard of this insurance company, and have no reason to promote it.
    I got this from a friend in my email and thought it may be interesting to you ppl.
    It will give a good basis to ppl that ask why you ride.

    Very interesting, thank you for sharing. I have definitely noticed a change in my mood, memory, and other mental functions since i stopped riding nearly all together 2 years ago.

    I have always felt that this was the case. It's nice to see someone actually put some research into it although it won't change the way most people think of us.

    Thanks Monk!
    It makes intuitive sense to me. I road in to work this morning and noticed just how much more aware and active I was than when I drive the truck. My brain was already "in gear" when I got off the bike.
