i want to ride a motorcycle but eveyrone is saying how dangerous it is. i wa sjust wondering about your experiences with motorcycles and how dangeroues they are
I dont think its dangerous as long as your responsable. dont do anything stupid and im sure you would be fine. ^_^
A friend of mine, Jerry, who used to ride motocross, hit a shallow pothole on the Belt Parkway (a highway in Brooklyn/Queens) and his bike literally bounced up from the road, and landed on it's right side. He was skidding along the road for about 1/4 mile, and they had to amputate his leg. It literally was scraped away by the pavement. Don't get me wrong, I have a ton of friends that ride without problems. The point I make is that Jerry was the most skilled out of them all, and fate had it's way with him.
Personally I don't ride because I'm only 17, but as long as you're careful with how you ride and don't try over-doing it, you'll be fine. The big thing is being aware of what's happening around you, you need to be able to react a whole lot quicker to something that happens near you than you would driving a car.
well the guy down the street was riding his motorcycle and got decapitated by a tractor trailer kinda makes want to stick too a driving a car
@.@ looks like i'm not gonna ride lool the crazy storeis always scare me to hell, cuz like if you have bad luck then it's just over
I'd say riding a motorcycle is pretty dangerous because, One wrong move, and that could cost you ur life, so think about it
I've heard two bad motorcycle stories, one that happened recent is a older kid's leg needed to be amputated and one that happened to a guy where he had to go to the hospital (i forget what he hurt). Anyway, if your really that risky and wanna ride, atleast wear some type of helmet protection (seriously).
Yep, and im a big steelers fan, i was worried. Dont let the stories scare you, just be cautious on the road, be aware of your suroundings, and dont go crazy.
IMO, yes i have a number of friends who all sold their bikes after a year a few of them had some mnior accidents
