Thanks to all who responded. I've been around long enough to know what's an unnecessary risk. There's no way I would ride high with cars around me. But with Ragbrai coming up and a lot of legal states, I'm sure we're going to be seeing some riders enjoying their partying.
No worries whatsoever. What counts is that you are here and contributing. I am on several car forums and have never seen the word troll so used and mostly abused as here. My theory is that it is age related, since the accused as so far from the definition found on the web.
The most risky thing you can do here is start a thread and if someone disagrees with the premise the label is just about guaranteed, but dont let that dissuade you because without thread starters, this site would not exist. Keep it up and if all else fails you can block chosen people’s posts.
