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.

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.

Thanks, on the way to healing....

Nope. I would take the Yamaha. With full face helmet, full leather riding gear with armour and boots and gloves.
If you see anyone riding a Yamaha like that (over age 30), chances are they have owned a Harley and have crashed before. And they didn't like either experience.
