But look at how many people do all those extreme sports and go bungee jumping and all.

It's the same with folks that won't fly but they get in their cars and your chances of dying in a car are much greater than in a plane.<BR/><BR/>You just don't have much protection on a motorcycle but they are lots of fun. I say be careful and enjoy!!Rachelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07802638037268741226noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36183952.post-10539340224767370212008-09-18T05:16:00.000-05:002008-09-18T05:16:00.000-05:00Yes, it is a double standard but we got it all the...Yes, it is a double standard but we got it all the time when we had our bikes. Our dog (poodle) even rode with us in a backpack that I wore in the front. We were like you, we stuck to the safer roads and never had a problem, well other then the people in the cars gawking at our dog! ha!Midlife Momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03531655128417397650noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36183952.post-60316330812786546302008-09-17T19:19:00.000-05:002008-09-17T19:19:00.000-05:00Yes there is a double standard.

I also have a scar on my leg (third degree burn) caused by an exhaust pipe.<BR/> Would I get back on one?In a heart beat. I love to ride.Just cause I'm 54 wouldn't stop me.<BR/> God bless, Donnazztop357https://www.blogger.com/profile/09376345039549578297noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36183952.post-11087770008162174722008-09-16T23:17:00.000-05:002008-09-16T23:17:00.000-05:00It is indeed a classic case of double standard by ...It is indeed a classic case of double standard by many, including my parents.<BR/><BR/>At the same time it is true that motorcycle has lesser protection to the rider than enclosed cars and buses.<BR/><BR/>Either way, if a motorcyclist gets into an accident with a car, chances are the motorcyclist will get hurt more than the car driver.<BR/><BR/>Since my father got into a bad motorcycle accident that had him bedridden, be helped to the toilet and get cleaned-up for eight months, he decreed to his children that none would be permitted to own one.<BR/><BR/>I would have owned one if not for his accident. Now I pay people to drive me to my destinations... not by a chauffeur, but a cab, bus or train driver. Sigh.Muhd Imranhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13434293882529251438noreply@blogger.com
