I can't agree with you there.
While the outcome (death) is identical, the levels of risk are not.

When Suzie Soccer Mom blows through the red in her Escalade long after the light has changed, there aren't many precautions you can take on a bike. At least with a car you have crumple zones that aren't part of your anatomy.

Don't get me wrong... if people could actually drive down here, I'd definitely ride. But with the way it is now, the risk vs reward just doesn't pan out.

 

im practicing on our shop's little honda 50, just getting comfortable accelerating and shit.

 

If I die riding my motorcycle I will have died doing something that I love. I am aware of the consequences every time I get on my motorcycle and the risks that I am taking even if I am following EVERY law.

 

Skin grafts are no fun, but once you've had them all else seems like just a papercut.

Riding is fun, always respect the bike. Always watch what others are doing and be prepared for the worst. Watching your shirtless buddy in shorts take an offramp at 60+ is insane and when he lays it down and comes out of his shoes and his ankles hit the guard rail and cut off his feet, it gives you a little more of that feeling. Just use common sense when riding.

 

Of course it's fucking cool. At stoplights I'll split between two cars and check myself out. :bowdown:

 

Not anymore fool. Now you have to be at the back of the pack as I drive right past you

 

That was low man. I thought we is homies.

 

We is.

 

They're fun, but I think it's getting out of my system.

 

they're cool as ice yo
