HOST: “While we wait for the technology to stop trying to hold us hostage, I’d like to take a moment to apologize to my computers. I shouldn’t have said it ‘takes forever.’ I now realize it was just… meditating on my request. Apparently, it needs to reach spiritual enlightenment before it can open a newsletter! Please, everyone, join me in a moment of zen… and maybe check that your own electronics aren’t planning a coup.”
Advanced riders are safer road users, ride longer, rider further, meet more people and enjoy a healthier, happier life!

It can be folded to fit in your wallet and handed to anyone who needs it, not just accident responders.
