Perhaps, but only a vanishingly small number are murdered by people who are
legally entitled to possess a firearm. And more are killed by baseball bats
than long guns.

I believe a lot of the bike folks think that loud is good as it makes
them more noticable.
Drivers do not pay enough attention and it is easy to miss a motorcycle.
I can say that I have heard bikes coming before I have seen them.

Probably true but you know what they say about statistics.
And, I assume your odds of dying in gun violence are a lot higher in the

Dry nitrogen gas as an option to inflate premium tires (the places that have
beluga caviar in the waiting rooms) is used because
1) The gas contains no moisture, and
2) 100% Nitrogen replaces oxygen in air, and oxygen decays rubber over time,
thus at least extending tire life from within.

Ahh the Politifact report. You left out the murder rate though and your odds of
being murdered which is 1 in 24,000 in the US and 1 in 56,000 in Canada which
