So is the American version, IMO.  I still watch it hoping it will start to improve, but have yet to laugh even once.

Yep, I still haven't developed a taste for the American clone of the BBC original version.  The original is still the best, IMHO.

Tennessee has no helmet law 
Tennessee does have a helmet law, Kentucky doesn't though. Looks really strange to me to go 30 minutes north and see people on sportbikes with no helmet.

I guess she had it backward. I live close to Connecticut which is I guess optional. The rice rocket boys wear helmets and shorts. The hard core and poser HD boys don;t wear helmets.

But we were boys, and boys will be boys, and so they will. To us, everything was dangerous, but what of that? Had we not been made to live forever?
