In My Opinion
The problem is that even though the majority of riders do so with a high degree of skill and responsible actions, the ones remembered are the ones that are acting like idiots.Barring an act of god, it most likely was the bikers fault. But, that doesnt mean all bikers on on a race towards death. You, Roy, make too many generalizations.
Hmm, mine is tall, silver, and operated generally much slower than I operate my car. So, in the words of Aps, if you dont have anything more intelligent to add, pipe down. You add nothing to the conversation.
all said and done,, because we remember those that drive in a reckless style, its just too easy to forget the majority that we see that do have sense about them.
I can remember all the idiots on bikes that I see with no problem, but I have to actually think about those I see that are just riding safely and enjoying the freedom that the bike brings.
I would love to ride again, but with the nerve damage in my foot I cant upshift, so people would get really pissed at me for driving all the way to work in first gear.
I tried the pedal shifter and while I was able to use it to some degree, it still was hard enough for me that I felt it best not to do so.
and there aint no way in hell that Im going to be caught on a Hondamatic. (do they even still make those)
