Re: The motorcycle epidemic


Cannot ban Everything, also cannot make decisions based on panic attacks of an unknown or allow ones self to be overwhelmed by basically Nothing. If you have to take a Xanax to ride in a car for very long there is something else very real very wrong and it is not the car or road. Fear is our own worst enemy where once allowed to control grows in that control.

Knee Jerking bad decisions on basis of fear that may or may not be relevant or actual is a bad way to live your life. I DO zip line, I have performed confined space rescue, I have had to climb out on a I-beam 40 feet above Anything with only a fall protection tether as my protection, I worked in a facility walking past steam pipes with pressure over 500psig and temperatures above 400 degrees F, on grating floors you could look straight down thru to 65 feet below and around voltages well above 13,800vac. You learn Respect for the dangers and control the fear, you do not fear the unknown but stay vigilant as to changes to the area you are in. Spider Sense is what we called it when it did not feel, sound or visualize well, then we made conscious decisions as to what to perform to preclude a danger to others.

Should we stop people from having what some of us call thrill seeking or adventure seekers? Heck you won't catch me on a motorcycle, jumping from a plane or climbing the Himalayas or on a roller coaster. I was up late last night and I watched Kimmel's old Aunt Chippy zip line over Vegas, felt sick to my stomach and on freeway car trips, I gotta take half a xanax, I have also become claustrophobic, the last 5yrs. but people have enough banning and laws that cramp their freedom of what they enjoy. I'm raising teen grandkids in 2019, I'm up for banning everything, it's nasty out there folks. emoticon



No, I see no good reason to try to stop people from thrill seeking. I just don't see any big difference between that and injecting heroin into one of your veins.
And I certainly don't want the government locking people up for doing any of those things since there is nothing morally wrong with it.

Re: The motorcycle epidemic


And I don't understand your comparison. Nothing to do with "morals" I wouldn't suggest addicts or bike riders have no morals. It is a matter of how does it effect your life and those around you? Heroin addicts do not make good partners, parents or worker bees, they scare their parents, extended family and friends half to death. Heroin is not thrill seeking nor should it be compared to addiction!

The comparison isn't complicated, katie. Using heroin and riding a motorcycle are done for fun, for the "rush" one gets from doing those things. But only one of them is considered a serious crime when in reality it should not be classed as a crime at all.

The reason why it was classed as a crime is because it was considered immoral behaviour, not because it disrupted families. Getting killed on a motorcycle can disrupt families also.

Re: The motorcycle epidemic


This has been elaborated upon. Jap street bikes, primarily Ninja style, African American riders. Thanks to a witness they were out "Jackassing" in N STL as a group, wheel stands, careless lane changes, speeding they accessed I-70 which at that point of highway is three lanes wide, there is an ongoing investigation as to WHY they were harassing the SUV at 1:30 in the morning besides several being tested for BAC that FAILED there was a purported witness that came forward as to that SUV reported as being harassed. The bikes were on three sides of the SUV where the lead cyclist "Brake Checked" the SUV where that SUV either had no time to respond or was distracted by the other riders and did not respond but the SUV then drove up ON the Lead Cycle, the TWO Cycles Following the SUV being TOO CLOSE(Tailgating) then entangled trying to maneuver ran into the back of the SUV.

You generally receive what you ask for if do it often enough.

KEY Points JACKASSING!! and HARASSING another vehicle.
