I'm a big clyde and would probably really put a massive dent on somebody's car. But it's gonna hurt me and I've paid a price before. So yeah, I'm sort of scared. Cars have a lot of metal surrounding the passenger cage and the human on a bike doesn't get that protection. So it's not a fair fight. I've hit the pavement enough times and due to cars driving badly to know that I can be totally in the legal right, but still be the loser. Luckily none of those accidents happened with any classic Bridgestones in my stable. But while I understand there is a big love of Bridgestones, unfortunately, I didn't realize what kind of love the community would have for them when I was just out of college and had a stable with 15 of them in my Dad's garage, I sold them all before going off to work in Japan. Nowadays, it's been brutally hard to find good bikes to rebuild my stable. I just can't understand why all you folks love Bridgestones as much as I do. Why not find another brand and stop bidding up all the prices on eBay and CL? :-)
