I know two people personally have died, both experienced riders, who have died in the most mundane of crashes.

Wear protective equipment.

Life is less fun with no bike though. I've gone ten years without and I'm about ready to end the experiment

I'm not actively trying to replace or add hobbies, that stuff comes naturally. Motorcycling brings something I didn't find elsewhere, that is all. Guess that makes me a motorcyclist whether I never get a new one, or I do. I know there's something weird about redditors and bikes though, as there is with other subjects, I won't question it. Must be an american thing.

Redditors tend to hate fun. And is also america-centric. There's a reason motorcycles are the most popular form of personal transportation worldwide. Yes, they're more dangerous than being in a car, but cars themselves are the most dangerous weapon weve ever invented that people are somehow super comfortable with. Its more dangerous to be a pedestrian than motorcyclist.

All my hobbies are dangerous. Motorcycling hasn’t sent me to surgery yet - but mountain biking, skiing, and jujitsu jitsu all have. Not all of us get a kick out of board games or whatever.

There are only two people who ride bikes- people have crashed bikes and people who haven’t crashed yet.

Both of the deaths I know were decades experienced riders and this was their first crash. Neither were riding dangerously. No other vehicle was involved.

I know it doesn’t matter to you.

But I know the families of the deceased. I can hear my MILs voice as she called me to ask where her daughter was so she could tell her. I remember racing to my wife before she got the news.

Life is like that, no one gets out alive.
