    The plural of anecdote isnt data. I’ve been riding for 45 years and I’m still here.

    Data shows the vast majority of 2 vehicle motorcycle accidents are the fault of the other vehicle

      Jesus christ, I don’t care what you risk your life doing.

      Claiming that, somehow, riding isn’t dangerous or risky when it’s the other drivers on the road that are at fault is fucking brain damaged.

      All it takes is one, and the rest of your life is fucked. I don’t give a shit what you decide is right for you. Genuinely.

        There’s significantly less chance of getting fucked for life if yiu actually wear proper safety gear. Doesn’t stop the danger of others, though. But it can lower damage.
