I know riding motorcycles is a hoot and all, but dang, imagine having a wife and kids, seeing someone in the news every single week getting killed by some negligent driver pulling out in front of a motorcycle, and still thinking "alright, time to jump on the ol' hog!"...
You can argue that there's car deaths every week, heart attacks every week and so on, but lets be real, we all know riding a motorcycle in basically a death wish at this point.
Not at all saying it should be banned or anything like that, just saying you're basically telling your family you don't care about them as much as you care about the thrill of riding a motorcycle if you choose to get on one and ride amongst the general public, people full of fauci juice that stare at their phone screens more than the road.
Youre ignorant. To some people motorcycles saved their life. An example being my friend Tyler Williamson. He loved his wife and kids very much and he would turn the world upside down just to help out a friend. Motorcycles are a lifestyle and we continue riding in their name to honor them. Of course you wouldn't understand that karen.
