I might as well take up smoking crack.

I have much bigger issues with that, than I do with bikes on the road, that's for sure.

Cars are much safer than bikes! If I was on a motorbike and hit a pole doing 120, not so pretty. If I was in a truck on the other hand, no biggie. Cars have seatbelts, airbags, and all kinds of other stuff to protect the people inside. But ya there are tons of people on the road who are nuts, and it doesn't matter what they drive. I guess I don't understand this need to be faster than everyone else, it's not like we have an Autobahn around the corner.
I totally wish that driving laws would change, they have to some extent. When I first got my license I was a terrible driver, and it ended up costing me a shitload!

if people wear their seatbelts, and drive properly, then yes they are very safe, but on the other hand, if riders, and motorist drove properly how are bikes any less safe?

why not get the best of both worlds.........put a bike engine in a car....the SMART car. 0 to 60 in under 4.5 seconds, quarter mile in 10, for under $35k and for 1/4 of the insurance cost, AND you get a seatbelt too! Take that Ferarri!!
you'd be the faster GoKart on the 401.

When he hit the ground his rifle went off (likely hit the trigger with some of his clothing) and shot my hat off.
Two or three inches lower and I wouldn't be writing this today.
