    I love motorcycling, and no-one is gonna stop me. I might have to park it up for now, Needing a car for uni and all, might even take it down with me. I have had the "You'll kill yourself" shit alot. And to quote someone, "Frankly my dear, I just don't give a damn" is pretty much the standard answer.

    When I finish uni and have enough money, Imma get a nice shiny blue SV650.

    Eat that haters

    I believe this comes about because we have been part of or know someone who has been in an accident, but unlike in a car where a small "bump" can mean someone pays a little money & insurance sorts the panel work, when a little "bump" happens on a bike it can mean serious injury. So car accidents are a come & go long forgotten sort of thing, but bike accidents (since there is physical harm amounting from most) tend to be remembered. Humans remember pain.

    2 Girls 1 cup, is a short film, detailing the bartending industry and the pro's and con's of each gender in relation to the job. Quite an informative film actually.
    Rest in peace Tony - you will be missed.

    Imdying is the motivator to that action, nothing to do with the demotivators! LOL!

    Luckily I didn't get far as I got the gist of it from the absrtact lines in Google search, so I was spared temporary insanity...

    Stand behind a Horse and pull its tail. What a rush! Wear a chest protector and let someone know where you are so they can come find you later, unconcious

    In a tin top your stuck in your lane, you have a solid white line and a broken white line on either side of your car, with fuck all room either side, thats no better than been stuck on a train, forced to follow its rails,
    On a bike your still in that lane, but you can do as you please within it, you can take better lines into corners, you can weave about on the straight roads, you can do all sorts thats freedom of the road,
    It annoys me how dull headed some people can be, I have been told many a time that I am selfish towards my family for riding a bike, I have been told I wont live to see 25, ill die in a horrific bike accident,
    Do you know what I tell people when they tell me ill die in a bike accident?
    Good, if dying while doing something I love is how im going to go, then I glad its the thing I love 2nd most. (I have to say this as my Mrs is beside me.. the bike knows it comes first.. )
    Iv done alot of good stuff in my life that I can be personally proud of and personally passionate about, but nothing outdoes my passion and pride than my motorcycle and my use of it.

    Ask them how many people they know have died or fucked themselves up in cars and then ask when they will be stopping driving

    Make sure they arent going to do any checking up though because if you use that line you'd be wrong
