I know a lot of people who drive motorcycles, but they scare the shit out of me because of stuff like this. | ||

If you were the person buying motorcycles for him, you might feel that way, but as an individual he needs to decide what he'll do differently if he wants to continue riding motorcycles. | ||

Glad you're okay, but hope you get the message... brain = important. (Otherwise you might as well speed up the inevitable and enlist to disarm roadside bombs in Iraq or something...) | ||

Well I'd say you ride the wrong bike, and you may want to learn how to ride before taking on roads that may end up killing you, or chasing choppers that outrun you in turns (???!!) ... and my rear tire is balding. ... I have a textile jacket and pants, but it's too hot to wear them right now. And being a squid is not just not wearing protective gear, it's an attitude and it includes stunting and stuff too. I got a mesh jacket, but it was too small and haven't gotten a new one yet. Now excuse my language, but that is pretty damn stupid to say the least. Maybe someone needs to link to some pictures of what happens to you when you fall off your bike at 30mph and hit the road instead of grass? Or maybe a tree? Not to mention higher speeds. Too hot ... wtf? I just came back from a holiday in California/Arizona. I didnt carry all my gear over there for no reason. I never go anywhere without full gear (and that's leather, not mesh ...). You get used to it, you know? It's one thing having a dangerous hobby, but begging fate to fuck you is another dimension yet. Maybe you don't have family and people who care about you, or a health system that will have to pay for what you do - in which case, do what you want, but remember that this forfeits your right to complain should anything happen to you. If you do have any of the above, it may be time to be a little more responsible ... | ||

I've owned a couple of street bikes and kinda want to get another one soon, just still in the debating stage. Im not going to slam you in any way since I've only rode maybe a good 2 years but only have laid down once. I always tried to stray away from my friends while riding b/c of things they would do and me not being able to react in time. And yes I would ride at my own pace at all times to get the feel of my own bike. Especially the times I would not wear body gear (Always always wore my lid of course that was mandatory), I would try to give good distance between me and the other rider for my safety and the safety of the other rider. Well hope you get your shit fixed...Ebay is heaven for parts. | ||
