The cars and bikes thread!

[Raza]

I understand the allure of motorcycles but I'll stick to four wheel enclosed vehicles, thank you.
I'm 63 and in this short life I've personally known two killed, three who've lost a leg, and one who almost lost his head when clotheslined by a steel cable strung across a rural road. Apparently someone's idea of joke.
Please be careful!

That’s the voice I hear every time I think about it. I don’t really know anyone who rides who hasn’t been in a crash. I have a friend who has been in enough bad ones that he finally gave it up.

I too gave them up years ago for this reason. Too many awful and/or distracted drivers who simply don't see you, and big rigs that simply can't see you. If I lived in the country, it might be a different story, but not in the 'burbs or city.
