Thinking about getting a motorcycle

[rgG]

For your family's sake don't get a motorcycle.
I know a lot of people really enjoy them, but I think they are inherently more dangerous.
My cousin was killed on a motorcycle, and he was doing nothing dangerous or wrong. It is just that when a car, going the wrong way on the interstate, hits a motorcycle going the right way, the motorcycle loses. The woman in the car was not seriously hurt. She was older, confused, and never meant to hurt anyone, he was still dead, at at relatively young age.

I know some will say he could have been killed if he was in a car, too. That is also true, but he would have stood a better chance both of being seen and of surviving, if he was in a car, because he would have had more protection.

If you were a motorcycle enthusiast and didn't have a family, I would say you should live your dream, but if this is just to save a few bucks, I say do something else and save the money some other way.

Just my 2¢ worth
