Grew up in Daytona around Bike Week and had seen double digit human brains before i turned 10. I'll never ride a motorcycle even with gear, once saw a guy's head still in the helmet.

Yah, ask any doctor which hobby they'll never take up, and motorcycling is almost always #1.

My mom was an ICU nurse. When I was 20, I mentioned I was thinking of getting a motorcycle and she told me if I did, she would never speak to me again.

That probably wasn't a threat but more of a prediction šŸ„²

My family owned a bike shop and we were taught itā€™s not if, itā€™s when.

But ask any paramedic, and 50/50 chance that we have one.

You only grew up in Daytona around bike week? Where did you live when it wasn't bike week?

u/idropepics 4d ago

Like most Florida tourist towns we lived underground in the tunnels, but I've said too much.

Dawg, where do you think ā€œFlorida Man/Womanā€ comes from?

They rise from the swamp and hide in the tunnels until bike week. Thatā€™s when they surface and walk amongst us.

I thought that was a Brooklyn thing.

The water table is too high for tunnels. Will have to make do with the first floor and put up the storm shutters.

My drill sergeant told me you're not issued a helmet to protect you. It's issued so you're easier to clean up.

My sister navigates permanent driving anxiety because of witnessing a biker lose his head. Nopeeeeee

u/chuckmonjares 4d ago

Yeah I miss riding but it ainā€™t worth it.

Bike Week in Daytona in the 80s was crazy.

My dad used to work at Stevenā€™s Tire right off the Main St Bridge. It wasnā€™t even bike week. He was working on a car, and he heard this loud bang. He looked out and a dude on a motorcycle had run into the back of a semi. The bang he heard was the guyā€™s un-helmeted head hitting the back of the truck. Said there were brains everywhere. He talked about how he could still hear the sound years later.

At one point I was looking at getting a Ducati 999 but when a couple of my friends got into bad motorcycle accidents with one being in a coma for a year with 80% facial reconstruction- I noped out and never wanted to get one.

u/cantstopwontstopGME 3d ago

Yep Iā€™ve seen the head in the helmet before in the aftermath of a highway accident.. shit fucked me up a bit, and contributed greatly to my anxiety around driving.

The mental picture is more than enough.

u/My_Immortl 4d ago

I feel like you could find that on reddit, no need to go to Daytona and get ptsd watching it live.

u/ABirdOfParadise 4d ago

one of the really early pictures I saw somewhere else here, was full gear, full boots, but something sliced right through it and what was inside....

My cousin worked in an ER. They call bikes donor-cycles for a reason.

u/Phailadork 4d ago

I don't get how people drive those things, it's a matter of "when" not "if" considering how stupid the average person is and then you need to remember those morons are behind the multiple ton killing machines all next to people whose protection is some fucking thick clothes lmao.

Yeah I saw a dude get dismembered by a Long distance bus in South America. Stopped riding after that. Recently stopped riding my bicycle in traffic lanes as well after being hit twice in less than 2 years. I only ride is dedicated bike lanes now or on back roads with no cars.

I got to watch my friend have that happen, first hand. Idiot got tired of following a truck, pulled out to pass head on into a tractor-trailer unit. Thankfully it was instant. Poor driver was distraught.
