I have seen too many fatal motorcycle accidents in my life to think it wise to ride or drive one.

I have seen car drivers intentionally try to run a motorcyclist off the street.

My brother-in-law was killed in a motorcycle accident (he wasn't driving)
I have seen stupid motorcycle drivers cut off huge 18 wheeler trucks.

They maybe nice but don't see them as being safe on the street or even the open highway.

moto cross looks like fun, but is dangerous....think that is ok if you that is your sport.....only other ones at risk are others in the same sport.

On the highway, there are too many other lives at risk. While I was dating my husand, he owned a motorcycle......He wanted to get married, I wasn't in a place where I really wanted to get married....told him I wasn't about to get married & have him die in a motorcycle accident & if he was interested in getting married, the morotcycle had to go......now I wish he had chosen to keep the motorcycle as it wasn't the only reason I wasn't interested in getting married & should have listened to that little voice.

I only rode on one once & almost fell off the back of it.....not my idea of fun either.

Definitely believe in the helmet requirement....just like I believe in wearing a helmet while I ride my horse.....for me, thank you, I will stick with riding my horse...at least it has a mind that can think & take care of me which is more than I can say for a motorcycle.
