Life is about being safe, taking calculated risks. There is no need.....to take big risks. I should kill myself because I don't want to get hurt? Lol I'm just extremely happy with my life and there is no rational logic as to why I should take a big risk. A motorcycle is not a calculated risk, the cons outweigh the pros without question. I'm not going to die in a car crash because my car is engineered to protect the driver's shell in a 200mph collision. However, in other cars, 3,500 lbs of metal and 20 airbags surround the driver. There is nothing protecting a biker except the helmet. If in a crash, you are 3400% (yes, 3400%) more likely to die on a motorcycle than in a car and there are stats to back it up.
