I like how people say the van was going too slow. If the van was going
so slow, it wouldn't have been necessary for the cruisers to pass at
such a high speed they lost control.

A couple days ago, the family of a missing man spotted his
car at the bottom of a ravine off Angeles Crest Highway. When
rescuers got down to him, they found a second car and the
body of another man who had disappeared several weeks earlier.
A lot of it is probably just the particular corners in question
and it certainly isn't limited to motorcyclists.
Lemmings BTW, don't generally plunge off cliffs unless they're
pushed to their doom by film crews shooting Disney movies.

But when you ask "Does she think we're like lemmings ?",
if the girl in question were unaware of the difference, then
where would that leave us ? That'd be a fine mess indeed.

I'm confused. Are you saying we should cook up a fine mess 'o
lemmings for pretty girls who are in question?
