Ha. Until you get creamed by a Lexus. Ask me how I know. My screen name might give a hint into what I enjoyed in the past for many years. Then the Lexus. My bike looked like it had been hit by a shoulder fired missle. Was a pretty bike too. Then after the freaking Lexus, looking at my kids when they were real young. Yea, the bike(s) had to go. You couldn't pay me enough to ride anywhere near the vicinity of any metropolitan area. Not a single person is paying any attention to anything besides their phone, and it's getting worse as the years tick over. They have zero SA, they cannot see you whatsoever, they could care less, looking down to text is way more important, you are literally invisible, I don't care what sort of hi-viz stuff you think you have on. Yea I get it, we could die just walking down the street to the coffee shop, risk and all. And I miss the bikes, the mechanical symphony that it was, I do. But riding on the street these days, especially commuting on the daily, screw that. That Lexus took one of my 9 lives that day.

 

Oh sure, a BMW. I rode them many years. Most of my old Harley buddies came over to the dark side. They got tired of Hog haters trying to hit them due to their dislike of biker gangs and wannabes.

All those big scooters have dry clutches too.

 

Yep. There are risks. Life is not without them and everyone’s tolerance is different.

 

I for example still ride and am not telling anyone not to. Just suggesting that commuting circumstances changes the fun/risk ratio.

 

I might have been a bit more into things from the 80's and 90's with an Italian flavor .......

 

Man I get tired of this - especially from people in the travel industry. It's a ROLL ABOARD!

Does roller board actually make sense to anyone?

 

 

Maybe it would of made sense if you're thinking was different irregardless its a mute point now since we all know what there point was.

 

I could care less.

 

If you don't mind sounding stupid, please proceed. It just puts one in the majority anyhow.
