Motorcycles are fine if you drive them at 35 MPH without anyone on the road or if you just want to look at them. Some of them are very pretty, (The old Indian motorcycles) but nothing good ever comes from riding them long term in traffic and at speeds faster than 35 MPH.
I tend to agree - it's certainly more dangerous than driving a car, because the majority of drivers on the road don't pay any attention and you are, for all intents and purposes, invisible. It's also true that, once you're on the bike, it can be hard to control the urge to do stupid things ("I can crank it up to 120mph, no problem.") even when you're an otherwise mature and sensible person and not a stupid 18-28 year old.
But they are awesome fun and a totally different experience than driving a car.
i have to agree with adonis.. i have two good friends that had horrible wrecks and have never been the same.. if you own a bike long enough (especially the crotch rockets) you will have a accident.. its not a question of if but when..
Right. When you ride bikes you belong in one of two clubs: The club of those who've fallen and/or the club of those who will. It's a sad fact.
