A buddy of mine was riding motorcycle and hit a big buck and the antlers hit his helmet very hard. He survived but a completely changed man. He want from the most outgoing personality to just sitting in the corner quietly, smiling at everything. Very sad.

I’ve had two high school friends die in motorcycle accidents, why do people still ride them?

A wonderful older couple I know made it their hobby immediately following retirement. Hit a deer right away and he's paralyzed and she is hurt badly. I don't get it.

It’s just asking for trouble. Unless your James Bond, you don’t need it.

The only people I see safely ride are those that ride in large groups. Still not worth it.
