PA anctually has it on their license plate. It makes it sound like Johnny works at the DMV. 
Safe is a f***ing noun or adjective, it is NOT an adverb.
RIDE SAFELY (If you're a pansy.  )

Until you can master basic spelling --actually--you don't get to comment on grammar.
An English Professor since 1972, perhaps before you were born  |

You can rip on my typos all you want. My grandmother was a schoolteacher who beat proper grammar(and spelling) into my mom who beat it into me.
When I'm up for my master's thesis on K bikes you can rip on my typos. Until then feel free to ignore anything I post due to typos.
The funniest one for me was when I had some dweeb who was working for me tell me that it was OK to use "In summery," on a multimillion dollar proposal was because the spell checker didn't catch her stupidity. It took me a while to convince her that summary and summery had slightly different meanings.
But I do apprecaite your anal retentiveness - seriously.
FYI: I was born in 1959.

Hey, I've got nothing better to do: I'm not--on ethical grounds--teaching summer session; I've retired from the Army after forty years, and I'm riding a K12 Light Truck because you guys didn't convince me not to give up the K11 in time. I need to keep my hand in for beating up students in the fall.
And I've developed an age-sensitivity recently: when I started at UTEP in 1972, many of my students were older than I was (26); now, many of my students are grandchildren of that first group. Once, I was a young Turk; now, I'm an old fart on the faculty.
But I stay on this forum because there's a lot of valuable information about rides and riding, as well as general principles about bike maintenance applicable across models.
And I'm still trying to figure out a way to find Owstrich a bike in Iowa that he can resell to my daughter in Dillon Colorado... |

I'd like him to find one for my G-F to ride.

You need to take the period out of your hyperlink:

I don't think JO and Mrs. Bug would be happy with a K75 - not great bikes for 2-upping.

A 75 is WAY too small for your massive bulk Johnny.

I think it was coined by ABATE, and its of the same idiotic mind as "Loud Pipes Save Lives" and "Helmets Kill" fricken morons.
PA is full of them. Yeah, I know me too!
Oh yeah and in PA its NOT the DMV. It's fricken PennDOT (Department of Transportation) morons!
