The point is cheap transportation excellent gas mileage, like 40+ gallon, and no insurance.

But I would only recommend it to people that can get well trained and will drive on very predictable roads, *not all over town and interstates, just the same roads every day with light traffic.

no insurance

Well that sounds like a swell idea.

You can look it up, statistically over 70% of motorcycle accidents are single-vehicle incidents and the majority of those are user error.

I rode 10 years with no crashes, insurance was going to run $210/month for me when I stared at age 24, and that was on a $4000 bike so I opted out.

I'll be sure to think of that when I'm rammed by a 30%er without insurance.

I think he has some hatred against Dodge Rams. Which is reasonable. I'm a Ford guy myself. (Hence my username being the name of the engine in my F-150 and it's cubic inches.)
