Your compassion as a medical care giver is overwhelming .  Maybe you should rethink your career.

if you can't find the humor in a guy faking a sinus infection just so he could get his own room and get away from his wife then i dont know what to tell you.

This thread has been a nice PSA for buying an expensive guitar instead of a motorcycle when you hit your mid life crisis

This.  Took up guitar and have a fetish now. . I suck but it I don’t have a motorcycle and don’t really want one.  

RIP Cedric Benson.

Rest In Peace, Cedric. He and Thomas Jones made that Chicago Offense boom, while Grossman was too busy farting on himself.

I rode dirt bikes when I was 13-15.  When I was older, got a Cruiser, but it turned out to be to much work cleaning and maintaining, so I sold it.  Never came close to having an accident, but its probably a good thing I got rid it of.  

 

I cant help but wonder how there aren't more motorcycle deaths.  I was on I-40 last week between Greensboro and Winston in 70 mph traffic and some young guy on a crotch rocket came flying by, whipping in and around cars.  One mistake by a car, truck, or SUV, and he is a wet spot on the road.  They are dangerous enough without being an idiot.

Damn that’s brutal RIP Cedric. 

I love motorcycles but find it to not be worth the risk. You can be the safest and most aware motorcycle rider ever and all it takes is one driver not paying attention or on the phone for a split second and you’re dead or seriously injured, even at low speeds. 

Yeah, I cannot see why people drive motorcycles on public roads. Every driver is so distracted these days, it's crazy the drunken swerving that you see and idiotic maneuvers people make. Doesn't matter how safe you are, there are too many people in cars that are too much of a menace.

Just did my post practice prayer with the D-line and prayed that we never take these opportunities for granted because it is a privilege to compete daily and then I get to my phone and see what happened with Cedric Benson. Wow!! Prayers to his family!!

Sucks, rip. 

Hindsight aside, like another poster said, can’t be scared of dying,could happen In a car just the same as a motorcycle, it sucks

And some of us are more interested in making sure our families are taken care of than me having my fun.

dying's not the worst thing that can happen

True, you could be Trump’s underwear

Those who ride ( like myself ) understand the risk involved. That’s part of it . How many people here smoke and drink in excess ? Won’t kill you today but it WILL kill you. Besides the survival rate is zero on a long enough time line . Live your lives .
