As an ex rider, I understand both sides of the story. I was crazy a while ago. I finally fell, hard. Have a titanium cheak bone now and I look back and say I'm lucky to be alive. I think a problem with the bikes now is they give you so much confidence. You feel invincible. Wait until you fall going fast and get a lesson on momentum the hard way. Plenty of people out there are responsible on bikes. I have no problems with them. They just need more education for the kids that get a bike that weighs 400 lbs and has 150 hp. Its just crazy... I don't ride anymore because I don't trust myself. They are like a drug, i get the chills thinking about riding again after my fall. Allot of those people out there that ride like crazy are just waiting for their number to be called and thats it. Goodby, your dead.
