what's man's greatest achievement?

Hhhhhmmmm??? Just me thinking too much again.

I'll throw out one to start. Gorbochev suggested this and I don't disagree.

Symphonic music.

It's got to be right up there toward the top of the list Smith. I'd also be propense to add good food and motorcycles to that list.

Wow that's a deep question.

The motorcycle of course.

Wait a minute. I just think I answered the Harley statement, If you have to ask you wouldn't understand. Of course their answer would just be a certain kind of motorcycle.

Seriously = the wheel.

Actually = beer or ice cream. Open for debate as to which is first.

the wheel came to mind as did the taming of fire, but i'm still sticking with symphonic music. hey, when they played classical music in the concentration camps, it must have some power.

Flight.
Only a few things more satisfying than perfectly settling your landing gear down on a runway (or anywhere, depending on your situation).
Oh, and the Wright Brothers rode bikes too.
