Where do you guys dig up these fossils? I've never had anyone express that sort of sentiment whenever the subject of motorcycling has been breached...

...which is a bit sad because it would appear you can have a lot of fun with such people.

That would be a win/win situation then

I usually just go with the "well you are thousands of times more likely to die from old age, so why not have some fun first", but the fuckwit detector is a far better option

Yet i've never heard anyone talk about planes in such a way.

"OK, thanks for telling me that, I was planning to ride as badly as I could because it never dawned on me to ride carefully". Then there is the lovely "It's not you, it's the other people on the road".

Thanks for that, how about you do something practical towards my safety and stay at home or leave your car in the shed.

Very, very few. Most get broken or fall to pieces.

It pisses me off too, when people start harking on about how 'dangerous Bikes are".

Why not quote Burt Munro himself;

"You can live more in 10 minutes on a bike than most people do in their lifetimes" - then peel off.
