Stay safe, young grasshopper.

You can be the best rider in the world and still have a bad day/week/month/year/life.

Can never predict your future. Enjoy what you will, when you can. I was in a motorcycle accident in 2021, TBI, hospitalized for 3mo, induced coma, and rehab for 9 months after.

I am back on the horse. It is just a zen and still relaxing time, albeit more anxiety while riding, than before. Thankful I can still ride, and I do.

And you can be the best car driver and still sway off or have some idiot crash into you head-on or miss a red light...

  • At a minimum you're belted in surrounded by a cage.

    More likely you're belted in your cage and surrounded by airbags.

    Apples to orangutans.

    • >surrounded by a cage

      THIS is the major difference, protecting even the best motorcyclist's abilities.

      Some US highways are posted at 85mph [137km/h] – unprotected flesh doesn't stand a chance!
