Hence the need for awareness on the road. Good point and I don't
have a reply for that yet. Give me some time to think about it.
Driving a 650cc motorcycle on an interstate can do wonders for

Hmmmmmm......where is this from?
Actually I don't have the stats, just from personal observation from
many years of highway driving in small cars & motorcycles...its
amazing how many people focus on the speeder coming up behind them and
forget about the little car/motorcycle next to them...
I'm sure you understand, just because I *say* shear layers don't

without some referring docs.
Unless I've had experience in fluid dynmaics and compressible fluid
flow...:-)
