I posted this a few weeks ago but I will post it again to "Donorcycle Man".


Five weeks ago I was going to go riding on one of my motorcycles but I decided to cut my grass first. I tripped and ran over my foot severing my big toe and the one beside it. Very true story, unfortunately.

EVERYTHING is dangerous. But that doesn't mean that I am going to lock myself up in a padded room the rest of my life

Hi Hottieboy-

Motorcycling is a passion that will be with me to the day I can't hoist my leg over the saddle. I consider it a calculated risk. I'm also a serious bicycling enthusiast who easily rides more than 200 miles per week for fitness. The gearing on my roadbikes allows me to reach speeds of nearly 60 m.p.h. and one tends not to see too many people saying bad things about bicycles. The best we can do in this life is be careful and keep our wits about us as we pursue what makes us happy! Sportbikes are definitely in that equation for me.

Sorry to hear about your accident.I hope that you've healed or are at least on the way to healing.

EVERYTHING is dangerous.

Yup,you've got that right.Everything from blueberries to bullets have the potential to harm (or even kill) people given the wrong set of circumstances.

But that doesn't mean that I am going to lock myself up in a padded room the rest of my life.

Fair enough.My basic attitude on the general subject is that if I have a 99.8% chance of surviving a trip to the grocery store in a Chevy Impala and a 91.9% chance of surviving the same trip on a Harley,I'll take the Chevy.

And you,I assume,would take the Harley.

Different strokes for different folks,as Sly Stone once said.
