Owning/riding a motorcycle can be a very exciting and enjoyable experience, but the operator needs to be more mature, controlled, and responsible than your average driver. I’m sorry but a 19yo kid with any of those qualities (much less all) is rare. I see a lot of guys weaving in and out of ~70mph traffic on the thruway all the time and no body seems to wear leathers or any sort of protective clothing anymore. A common excuse: everyone dies eventually. Thank god we have helmet laws or they wouldn’t be wearing one of those either… --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/another-rocket-down/31623)._
