Re: My 2 Cents...
In Response To: My 2 Cents... ()

I can't say anything about motorcyle experience, but I used to ride my mountain bike and operate a chain saw...AT THE SAME TIME...while wearing my Rolex or Omega....just kidding about the "same time", but not kidding about the activities. I've never had a problem with either, and both of those activities were very rough on the body, hands, wrists.
I suspect the mountain biking on rough terrain is worse than mortorcyle riding...but Yak did not specify if it was "road" or "dirt" motorcycling.
My general rule about shock is if your body can take it, the watch can take it.

But hey, that's me...I'm a watch daredevil !! ...when I'm out of my engineering office cubicle! :-)
