100% why I never got into motorcycles. Not judging people who choose to ride, but that's not a risk I feel comfortable taking on myself.
I really wish there was such a thing as a safe motorcycle, but they're just outside my risk profile. They look so fun
You get a a motorbike or ebike and ride it where there are no cars, eg mountain biking
Mountains. Now that's a safe place!
Sure, let me just get a truck to haul around my motorcycle with
i know two people personally who almost died on dirt bikes alone offroad
People die skiing, swimming, cycling or even running. At some point you need to live your life and accept some level of risk.
Or live in a padded cell and die of heart disease from never leaving the house.
or just don’t ride non enclosed vehicles at high speeds
every motorcycle rider i’ve known has had at least a major close call
easy half dozen, father spent a month down on road rash
father in law died due to weight complications after a bad harley accident and pain meds
highschool buddy ran off the road doing like 40
anway list goes on
uh cosin was one of the kids on the dirtbike
his step dad is a major x games biker and he at like 14 was going too fast
I used to ride one as its all I could afford. Now I cycle instead which is cheaper and at least some bike routes exist so some of my journey can avoid cars.
