I wear dresses frequently. Is it unsafe if I rode my motorcycle side saddle and avoided using the rear brake?

The real question is, what is a vegan doing on a horse in the first place? Isn't that putting an animal in servitude, a big no-no in the vegan circles? True vegans debate the morality of keeping a cat as a pet.but riding a horse and forcing it to do your will is OK?? Sounds like a hypocrite all around. If you ride a horse, you cannot be a true vegan. Vegetarian maybe, but not a vegan. Using animal bi products, like leather, also makes you not a vegan. That is like being a Christian who worships Pagan deities and doesn't believe in Christ ;) . And on a related note, the plowing of fields kills native plant species and ultimately harms the animals that lived in the fields. These vegan foods are about just as earth friendly as anything a meat eater consumes!

Old steel pipes corrode and become plugged over time. IF you were to open up such a pipe, you'd find the bore of the pipe to be 1/2 closed over by scale and corrosion in a typical 40-50 year old home. This reduces water flow and pressure and leads to leaks etc as the debris coming off of the piping attacks valve seats. Copper is by far the preffered replacement. It has a track record of durability for 100 years, is silent and safe. Many people are switching to plastic piping systems today to save a few $$. I highly discourage this. Plastic piping is not tested with time, has been known to have problems with past versions which have resulted in flood damaged houses. There are many unknown issues in my opinion with respect to health. Plastic piping will leach materials into the water supply over time. The health effects of materials commonly found in plastics (phthalates, nonyl phenol's etc) are always being discovered as adverse. If I were buying a home, I would not buy one with plastic piping. When you fix yours, think about the long term costs as well as the short term savings. Astrobuf

Galvanized steel will rust and corrode even though it is galvanized ( a layer of zinc is applied to the steel to resist corrosion upon the steel). So after 40 years your galvanized water pipe will have a pretty good layer of rust and corrosion and joints may begin to leak after a time. It definitly is not neccessary to change the water piping just because you have galvanized steel. However depending on the age of the house the pipes may be nearing the end of their lifespan - so to avoid a leak which could cost much because of flood damage - you would be wise to change the piping over before that point. So it's not absolutely neccessary but it is recommended if the galvanized steel is quite old (like say 35 years or more). If you are going to change the piping you will want to use PEX tubing nowadays instead of copper. It's safe for drinking water, 3 times as fast as copper because with copper each joint needs to be heated and soldered, and as a result is much cheaper- also cheaper because copper in itself is quite expensive. Depending on the size of the home (multi-level/crawlspace/attic/open or finished basement etc.) you could be looking at anywhere from $1500 CDN to $5000 or more. Generally the more access we have the quicker and cheaper it will be. A smallish rancher with a nice open crawlspace would be about $1500 and take a couple of days for one plumber to re-pipe. And hey, if you lived in Victoria BC Canada I could do it for you. lol. Have a nice day. As far as PEX being no good for UV exposure and having high maintenance costs - that is only if the plumber is too cheap to buy the red and blue UV resistant stuff.

A machine is not much different from a horse. Totally! I always tell my bike to get up or walk on when I want it to move, and I tell it whoa or easy to slow down. On the horse, I like to twist the right ear to make the horse go faster, and the left stirrup changes gaits. When a horse stops, you always need to put a foot down to hold it up or it will fall over which is why there are virtually no horses left anywhere in the world. Like a motorcycle, horses have no ability to stand themselves up after they lie down. Basically a horse stops moving or loses it's balance once and then it dies. It really is exactly the same, and you should have no problems whatsoever.

Lol i had to google sidesaddle to know what you were referring to. Anyways what Im wondering is can you ride sidesaddle with your legs on the right side so you can still you the rear brake? I guess its possible with practice just like anything else but what Im thinking is when you come to a stop you better make sure you dont lean too far to the opposite side or everyones gonna have a free show of whats under your dress. PS I cant tell if youre serious or not but I gave you my thoughts anyways ) Cheers miss!
