Germany, she said that motorcycle riders were required to wear not only helmets, but protective gear "that made them look like football players".

Perhaps others on the net would be interested in knowing, also. -mike schwager -- {ihnp4,convex,pur-ee}!uiucdcs!schwager schwager%uiuc@csnet-relay.arpa Brought to you by Super Global Mega Corp .com
