riding a motorcycle is my personal choice. like dim8sum said, we all make this choice and accept it. yea being on a bike is more dangerous than being in a car... i agree with that but a accident is a accident and you can either make it out alive or not. i've already been in a major accident and that has opened my eyes on the way i ride. i've also came into a lot of close calls. we riders are more aware of the road and drivers. we read them so much more than what we would while driving. i have a friend who used to rag on us about riding and how dangerous it is to ride. he is now picking up a motorcycle and now appreciates us riders. good for him, opened his eyes to a new world. his personal choice. welcome to the club.... those who haven't been on a motorcycle have no rite to rag on us.
I agree, it is probably 100X more dangerous riding than driving. but I love riding more than driving ... maybe it's the added adrenaline flow or maybe it's the open air; i don't know. it's awesome to go out riding when it's not raining or when it's not too hot.
^if i ever move to the country then i may consider one, or maybe when i get a lot older and dying is not so bad, but thats not good on my fam so no bike, i got a mountain bike though... ubbbbbbbbbbbber
