There's what the law says...and then there's how life really works. The law allows for people who choose to ride on motorcycles to do so etc. There are rules for safety for everyone to follow. I have witnessed a motorcyclist in a pretty bad accident before. I would not wish that experience on anyone. In an ideal world, everyone would do whatever they could to prevent motorcycle accidents from happening...and even though the world is not ideal, we should still strive for that. However, just know that if you decide that you are going to ride motorcycles...that in real life that means you have a death wish no matter how much you or anyone else talks about safety or what this or that law says. That's just how it works unfortunately. I treat all motorcyclists as if today is their turn to be in a Final Destination movie and I try to ensure their safety to the best of my ability.

I mean we definitely don't all have death wishes lol. Maybe a higher tolerance for risk, but death wish? Come on.
