If we stopped to consider the risks of ever fucking going anywhere, we'd be paralyzed.

If you tried to reduce the speeds on 76 in PA, the area would grind to a halt, and no one would move. 1/4 as many cars could use it on any given day if everyone kept to the currently imposed limits, and observed proper following distances.

You have to live in the realm of WHAT'S FUCKING POSSIBLE.

Yes it's risky. You guys are all motorcyclists. WTF. You gonna start this kinda rationalizing NOW?

Save it.

Spare me the fucking road tax, and the guilt and paranoia just for trying to get home, like everyone else. PLEASE.

kinda makes you think about the editorial written by catterson in motorcyclist. bikes are becoming just like cars now days. I think those of us who enjoy driving/riding are in the lower percentile now days and the newer vehicles, which are obviously and necesarily made for the average "wheel holder" will remove much of the "excitement" of driving for us.
I have traction control in my Jeep even. At least I can turn it off to go have fun. LOL
