It's a little sad that we need to actually say this, but:

Don't be an asshole or you will be permanently banned.

Respectful debate is totally OK, criticizing a product is fine, but being verbally abusive will not be tolerated.

Focus on discussing the idea, not attacking the person.

Remember kids, the ground does not care WHAT you fell off of, only how fast you are going when you meet it. Wear gear! Your standard bike riding outfit is going to shred like tissue paper if you come off this at anything over about 30mph.

Yes but below thirty you tend to keep MOST of your skin.

What if I am wearing someone else's skin over my own?

You just invented motorcycle leathers!
