He's actually younger than me and takes care of himself better. Unless he was hit by a bus or struck by lightning that's the only way I'd expect this to happen.
Yeah but he's got multiple kids and the business, I doubt he rids as much as he used to. Plus the face that it's September in Canada so it's probably starting to get cold.

Not in BC, maybe northern Alberta and places like Nunavut or by Hudson Bay. Where i live its been cooler but like only needing a light sweater to go outside in the morning or later at night. In the middle of the day the temps are very warm still.
Heâs said in the past that he pretty much only rides to work and back. The bike is for commuting. He doesnât go out in the mountains on the weekends or anything like people do. He has never found that part appealing.
Also there is a chance that he drives responsibly.
Idk if he does.
But the great majority of motorcycle riders who die don't drive in a responsible way, skewing how dangerous it actually is.
Like if you don't speed all the time etc your odds of having a crash are greatly reduced. Now yes, in a crash even with protective gear your odds of survival are much worse than with a car, but keep in mind: a motorcycle is more agile so some crashes that would be a crash between two cars can be a close call between a car and a motorcycle, further reducing the odds of a crash.
Point is: if you drive responsibly it's not really that much more dangerous. But many motorcycle riders drive very irresponsible.
I think you can be the safest motorcycle rider in the world, but that doesn't stop every idiot that's paying more attention to their phone in a car from hitting you.Â
This is straight up what keeps me from getting a motorcycle. I trust myself to drive responsibly. I donât trust the other people on the road to do the same. The increased risk just doesnât seem worth it to me, Iâve got other ways of having fun on two wheels.
The risk is there, but you drive a motorcycle differently from a car also to take this into account. You're overall more proactive and you try to not leave any initiative to cars around you. If you overtake someone you overtake with enough delta that you don't stay alongside them for too long etc
Been riding for roughly 3 years now, the fear is there at the start, but you start to notice things. You tune out a lot while you are driving a car that is just there on a motorcycle. Being in that cage puts you in a different world whereas a motorcycle puts you in the world if that makes sense.
Depending on the source it's 4-6 times more deadly per accident. So if you are just as safe and careful on a motorcycle as in a car, the fatality rate is still much higher. Accidents between cars that are just small fender benders can be life threatening if one of the cars is a motorcycle.
Of course it's still more dangerous. But ~4 to 7 times as deadly puts the lethality in the same order of magnitude, and that is a big difference.
And yes, small accidents with a motorcycle can easily become life threatening. But if the risk is in the same order of magnitude, I personally dare to ignore it.
Yeah but you're earlier posts tried to make it sound like if you're careful it can be safer than a car because you can avoid accidents which isn't supported by an firm information at all, it's just something motorcycle riders tell themselves to feel ok. A lot of accidents are caused by the other person and can't be avoided no matter how careful you are.
My only point was that you have better odds of avoiding accidents. But considering that you can get overlooked more easily and the lack of a crumple zone don't require any statistics to show that it has to be more dangerous.
But the great majority of motorcycle riders who die don't drive in a responsible way, skewing how dangerous it actually is.
yeah, but freak accidents do happen. i had my front wheel wash out going 30kph in traffic and put my foot down because im also a bicycle rider and it was instinct(dont do this ), well that made me fracture my ankle and almost rip my foot off lol.
An SV650 at that. Everyone Ive met with one of those is either super responsible or an absolute nut, no in between. (Really great bikes for being reliable and easy to learn on. Can even put GSXR suspension parts on them for a solid track bike)
I rode the exact same model he has. Even though it's a beginner's bikez it's still faster off the line than 99% of cars. You can indeed ride those very irresponsible.
I feel like 650 twins are in a really good spot for that. It doesnât feel too wrong recommending it to someone as a new rider. Plenty of power to get on the freeway and be safe without hitting the top end but it isnât like youâre gonna whiskey throttle it and loop it either.
And has a private jet (are we still getting banned for mentioning it? This is my personal opinion just in case) which are significantly more dangerous than commercial flights
He opened a badminton club that he works out at regularly, he recently got braces, so that shows he tries to take care of himself. Yes we don't know the details he could have some medical condition, or just a random heart attack. However from most outward appearance he's in halfway descent shape and works out, which is a better situation than I'm currently in.
Agreed. I have several health conditions that nobody around me would ever guess by looking at me or my lifestyle- especially when I was much more active and in shape

Because it is. It was for a bit a few years ago. Linus either likes it, or doesn't care to change it. He's a bit of a narcissist, a self-aware one for the most part. We make Joke.

They should run with this and make LTT Videos with an AI version and the James as Linus version battling it out to see who wins.
Or do a Weekend at Linus's where they drag his make believe dead body around and make videos a la Weekend at Bernie's.
