When you end up pumping the chest of someone to keep him alive you wonder if it was worth it. Would you feel better if he had a 'heart attack' in a car? Or do you suggest CPR for every injury that someone incurs?
In all my years of riding, about 35 or so,I have come to the conclusion that people who make comments like yours are either parroting some garbage that their mother told them, or are afraid to admit that they would ride if they only had the stones. Is it more dangerous than driving around in the F250? Of course. Is it my own business? You bet your azz!
For a conservative site, there are way too many nanny nono's for comfort!

and the one that is awaiting delivery: 
End of rant, maybe!

I don't have to parrot anything. My uncle had his leg tore open riding one of these. My cousin and her husband were killed in a terrible wreck, Motorcycle vs semi. And they had years of riding experience.
And I ended up pumping the chest of a 16 year old boy who ran his motorcycle into a car making a legal turn in front of us.
After you pump one person's chest you will begin to notice the shear numbers of motorcycle riders who get killed in the news daily.
