A few years ago, I was vacationing in Mexico and admiring the Mexican VW Bugs. (Original? Classic?) I got to wondering why I couldn't import one into the US, until I realized that this thing had an unpadded dash, no air bags, and likely crappy brakes and a plate glass windshield. Totally unsafe, don't ya' know.

Then I remembered I ride a motorcycle.
