Kudos to your brother Larry, drag bikes are cool. I decided to build a fast street bike 20 years ago and a guy named Carlos who dragged Harely's put my motor together while I customized everything else. It was very fast and I learned to respect speed on two wheels.

I'm a weekend motorcycle driver now and when out among motorcycle club drivers we all motor with rules of curiosity and safety. Too many times when on a solo cruise on the backroads a cycle driver will hookup for the drive and I end up pulling over and let him go because they just don't know how to drive safely. Seems they always want to pass cars and at the worst times like blind curves.

My sister in-law is still recovering from a motorcycle accident 18 months later from a careless auto driver. She works at Lockheed making six figures and now from the brain injury she suffered she is having a hard time at work and might be demoted. She has been riding all her life and is the president of a motorcycle club and it goes to show you are at risk on a motorcycle either way.
