another thing i just remembered
A person will spend a couple thousand dollars on a bike but will not spend the $120 to properly learn and get licensed to ride
That failed logic never ceases to amaze me

This extends to pretty much any sport or hobby ever conceived.

Or decent gear?

Love my flip flops and khakis shorts, that's for sure...

Let's see, riding while intoxicated, running from the cops, stunting on public roadways, passing in a no passing zone while in a curve, and the ever popular t-boning someone because they made a left turn in front of you while you're traveling at an unnecessarily high rate of speed.

Nice Ninja edit G I was about to quote you and argue about the left hand turn comment, but u had already edited by time the quote popped up. I suppose now it makes more sense

Plus, thankfully, you didn't meet your demise when the dummy pulled out in front of you. If you had been going too much faster, you might have...

Allowing a female or other person to ride on their bike without the appropriate gear.

For the most part I see guys who let their woman ride on the back without a helmet...in high heels and a skirt or skimpy shorts...

If they really cared about this person do they not think it might be a good thing to help keep them safe??
