The other day I saw a millennial, with a man bun, wearing skinny jeans, had a guitar hero controller strapped to his back, riding a Moped, and a sticker that read "powered by green energy"

I seen a young dude on a Harley without a helmet but he had his paper covid mask on.

Nope. Got swiped by a pickup while I was on my bike. Broke my back among other things. Pretty gnarly wreck. Decided to drive fast cars instead. Lol. 

Damn.  Broke my back on mt Rainier.   The people in front of me decided to take a picture and stop in the middle of the road on the blind side of a switchback.   Totally my fault but I mean c'mon don't stop in the road.

The craziest coincidence is that their son was a paraplegic because he had broken his back in a motorcycle accident.   

They helped me get to Yakima.

I had dirt bikes all my life and I will have another one day. I enjoy that type of riding. My years with the ambulance service plus having a good friend die on one has kept me off the streets. It seems every time I get an itch to buy one, reasoning with myself I will limit how often I drive it, there is a fatal motorcycle accident in the local paper that changes my mind. 

The traffic these days along with road construction makes it a death trap on a motorcycle. You typically don't walk away if you strike a vehicle, or more likely a vehicle strikes you. 

I'm getting old enough that it hurts when I fall down in the grass.......lol

 

P.S.  I'm not anti-motorcycle, I respect everyone's right to make their own choices

I personally know far more people that died in cars and trucks than on motorcycles.   That being said I don't know many people that own motorcycles.

Ps I can't keep a dirt bike upright to save my life but I'm fast AF around a road race course.  

A 125 Penton used to kick my butt. It wasn’t mine though. My bike was a Kawasaki 1000. Got rid of it before I killed myself. You ride as a ghost. The second you assume someone sees you, you made a huge mistake. In town riding was the pits.

I worked as a claim adjuster for a while after college.... I dealt with a couple of families who had lost loved ones and I ended up selling my old scooter.  I just needed to be around to raise the kids and stuff.  I always thought I'd get another one, but now that my parental obligations are pretty much fulfilled I just don't really have the urge to ride anymore.  The ground is just too hard.

I've had a wreck in a car.......and walked away......

If I had that same wreck on a motorcycle I would not have walked away.....at least a dirt box I will probably survive if I crash

Basically started this looking for help finding curvey crooked roads down in yall neck of the woods.   Any suggestions?  Where would you go drive a sports car?  Tight turns maybe some hills or some scenery.   

Not many curvy crooked roads. Drive up Hwy 92 through Silsbee, Fred, Spurger, Town Bluff. Hit 190 and find your way to the Lakes. A few curves. Very scenic.

      Republicans don't deserve...

      Hold them accountable? Like here in Texas where we have, by any definition, the most conservative Speaker that we’ve ever had. He pushed through an abortion ban and border security measures, reduced school taxes, etc… and the people who put him in office are firing him for not being MAGA enough.    Every third commercial on TV is Trump (or somebody who supports Trump) calling Phelan a RINO and supporting an impotent replacement for the most powerful person in the House.    It’s 100% MAGA, and it’s 12000% stupid.    “oh, he didn’t do those things by himself” says everyone who doesn’t understand parliamentary procedure.

      Me personally I respect posters like @bullets13 @CardinalBacker they vote for a guy and can call out others in the party or the direction a party can be headed.... others on here fall "lockstep" with whatever happens and defend by all means is the mantra it seems... no need to call out names, it's probably you if your mad at this statement 🤣

      I recall prior to midterms the R's and the "red wave" would get America "back on track" etc.... they would end this and stop Biden from that blah blah blah, so what's the problem? It looks like a circus show from both sides and whoever can sit or stand with a straight face and defend it is a 🤡! Desantis would've been a slam dunk for the R's and he possibly would've got my vote... now they pick a guy who lost the popular vote twice lol (yeah I know that means nothing in grand scheme of things).. point being is the dude is highly unlikeable (I also know this doesn't matter) 👈🏾 just getting ahead of the deflectors... personally I hope the clown gets in there so ppl can see how ultra right the clown is trying to push America for... IF he wins in November you can bet he will be on a rampage for 4 years getting lil if anything done, will most likely spend his term for the same thing some of yall complain about daily, going after his opponents... but hey the D's do it right? So yeah it's cool if we do it SMH We're supposed to vote on policies etc while at the same time the person you vote for that made promises to change or fix this and that complains about his predecessor being the issue! It's all a joke What have R's done that's good for America since midterms?  What have D's done? And please leave your feelings out of this and be truthful if possible!
