Marinpa, i wish i could be as well spoken as you are. Good post!
I wholeheartedly disagree with the notion that a high post count equals righteousness or what have you. On a forum in Ireland there is this "guy" that has thousands of posts under his belt but when i looked into them they were literally ALL one or two line posts!
Having said that, Capri Racer is very clued in at his profession and that is to be applauded. However, his quote above, re: having more posts is odd to say the least.
In any case, i would like very much to see scientific tests done on the subject of this thread.
Mythbusters came awfully close to covering it recently but fell short of doing a braking test.
I get the liability issue but seriously, we're all adults and can make our own choices. Anyway, at the start of Jackass or whatever, they tell you "not to try this at home" and thats them covered. So why not braking distance tests on mythbusters then?

We all know the answer to that.
