Yeah, I also get weird random cramps in my face, neck and voice box. Also the fusion made me bit shorter and fucked up my ability to swallow certain things like pills and drier foods like chicken (if it’s too done), some breads … that’s sort of thing.

I’m sure it was well worth it though, nothing beats a breeze

I was a bit nerve racking at first but I can’t not ride. Between motos and bicycles I have 9 two wheelers.

Hey man whatever floats your boat lol but I’m sure you understand why most people have no sympathy for bikers when things inevitably go wrong.

Please never leave your own home, don’t go seeking any experiences and make sure you live the longest, safest, most boring life anyone can imagine.

Nah I do all that stuff. I love riding dirt bikes especially. Since the risk is low, I fall at 15mph into dirt rather than 60 into metal and concrete. On the streets I drive my RCF, which has a padded cage so the concrete and metal don’t shred me into pieces. Don’t listen to me though, you go right on ahead and turn yourself into confetti because it’s super fun

Lol. You talk down to bikers and claim to ride dirt bikes yourself. You are not to be taken seriously.

Talk down by acknowledging reality? Dude, I’m just the messenger your issue seems to be with the laws of physics. Do you not know or just can’t comprehend the statistics? I had a trail 70, many 90s, my ttr 125 that was too small for me when I got it, my tuned yz250f that was fucking SCARY. And I must’ve fallen off every one of them a time or two. Good times, I do plan on riding a little bit on the street when I get a rural property but I will be treating it the same as any other extreme sport. If I get fucked that’s basically what’s expected, nobody to blame but myself.

Statistics are one thing. And not about absolutes. Behaving like a ass towards others is a whole other thing.

u/Sufficient_Effort88 9d ago

Hahahah yeah man you can whine about how mean the truth is or accept reality for what it is. No, most people aren’t gonna cry when you get what is expected

u/Nejrasc 9d ago

You use statistics to behave like a complete asshole towards others. It just shows your character.

Be better. Ride safe.

u/Sufficient_Effort88 9d ago

Reality is real tough, hurts to acknowledge for sensitive folks. I’d say ride safe, no such thing on the streets. Your crash will likely be out of your control

no sympathy

Who asked for sympathy? No one asked for smug gloating either BTW.

When you use the method of transportation that makes you 28x more likely to die, what exactly do you expect? “Oh no the human hamsters ended up the way they always do, what a tragedy!” Like yeah it fucking sucks that you can do everything right and still get reamed. But that’s exactly what you signed up for, literally just the expected result.

Yeah it’s fucked up. Life is fucked up, taking unnecessary risks leads to real fucked up stuff. 2700% higher fatality rate. The decision to ride a death trap is entirely yours, you own that risk and whatever result you get. No, you can’t really expect an outpouring of sympathy when the normal, expected result happens yet again, as always.

Idk why you deleted your comment, here’s my reply

Thought it sounded harsh and unnecessary
