[He Rides A White Horse]

Never "abandon ship." Throwing the bike down is absolutely the worst thing to do. it increases your speed at impact, and the bike becomes a meat grinder.

Riding a motorcycle in dangerous for many reasons. I think other drivers are the worst thing for cyclists. I watch cars pull out in front of them all of the time.

I agree that "Loud Pipes Save Lives".

I think having a loud motorcycle is overrated with number of near-deaf seniors on the road and young’ins with their 5,000 watt stereos. Also, it’s been my experience that just because I hear the rev of an engine, it’s not always apparent as to where it’s coming from.

One thing that I do think that I do think would save lives is by becoming more visible by wearing bright colours. I known that may not be as cool as wearing a black leather jacket, pants and helmet, but if your goal is to save lives, you just don’t have room for cool.
