Did you know that the initials BSA stands for Birmingham Small Arms (a UK small arms manufacturer) that's why the BSA badge has three crossed rifles on their insignia. Just a bit of useless trivia.

When I see in the News how some motorcyclist was doing over 100 mph, and crashed and died a horrible, terrible painful death - I feel so bad for that person's family for being related to a complete idiot like that. They must have a lot of shame.

Yeah.
Let’s hope that this doomed, Darwinian award winner has not reproduced. His dumb-azz gene should not carry on to infect future generations. In fact, it is hard to believe he has lived so long.

No, they have a lot of sorrow, regrets and even guilt. For every moment you have asking "what were you thinking?" there are hundreds asking "what could or should I have done to prevent this?". I hope you never have to go through this. People with your outlook don't deal with the tragedy well.

Fastest 'i've' ever gone on a 'MC' is 150 mph.
Went over an arched bridge and found myself about
6 ft. in the air.
Said a short prayer; "God You get me down alive and 'i' promise never to do anything =stupid= like
this again!
I'm still here, He heard my prayer & 'i've kept the
promise.
End of Story:

One of the stupidest things I've ever attempted was in my twenties when a found a cave and without telling anyone where I was going I crawled in the small opening and soon after entering about 200' I heard a terrific rumbling noise of falling water. It was from an underground waterfall with a 30' drop into a narrow gorge stretching further than my light would reach. So, to cut the story short, Mr stupid (me) decided to crawl down this passage along a 2' wide wet ledge when the light went out. I spent what seemed an eternity in total darkness trying to get the flashlight working again.
I really thought I was a gonna for sure, but as luck would have it and a few bangs on the light it came to life.
I finally returned from whence I came, and never returned.
I read latter in a spelunker's publication that professional cavers had traversed this entire cave and were forced to turn back about a quarter mile down that same passage, because of methane gas.
I should have done the 150mph bike ride instead lol.

Scary. I love open caves, but can't brave the narrow crawl thru type. You're braver than I am. Big sandstone caves are great for arrow head hunting. I have a wood frame with rat wire on the bottom I sift the sand with. Have found so great flint and chert specimens.

The only things I found were bat turds, and the definition of fear.

<quoted text>Lol! That is a great line. I also love how the comments morph and grow into fascinating stories. I am highly entertained. Thanks. Now my 2 cent story addition. Letchworth State Park has a manmade cave on the free side of the park. As kids we would sneak inside until someone put metal bars and buried the entrance. Well, industrious kids with a shovel and a hacksaw can defeat that pretty quick! I think there was a cave-in and that is why they closed it up, but we still liked messing around in there. Lucky we didn't get killed falling off the slippery ledges onto the jagged rocks.

As I vaguely remember, the hands and knees crawly part was just through the opening, after that it opened up considerably to beyond stand-up height.
Your anthropological pursuits in the sandstone caves sound much safer and with the excitement of finding things of historical value - are you legally allowed to keep your finds?
