Thread: I was going to get a bike but..

So yesterday i was at my friends house and he had bought a Yamaha r6 and they were taking it up and down the block since it wants insured yet.

Today i was suppose to go buy my first motorcycle with my pops but all that changed when i watched. My best friend come down the street a bit too fast and the bike started to wobble. I had taken my uncles new Acura out for a spit and happened to park it on the street. My buddy flies off the bike, does a front flip into the street. The bike flies into the side of my uncles car and dents the hell out of it, his car was no more then 3 days old haha. But after i watch my best friend almost die im a bit skeptical of getting a bike. And possibly a trike would be better.

This is what the bike looked like before the crash -

and il post a pic of the aftermath later tonight

Bikes are dangerous, I got rid of my two. I got a kid on the way and I don't wanna chance it anymore than I need to be chancing it.

Smart thinking Carter. Little one comes first. Congrats again. My daughter is 8mos. Best feeling in the world

I own a few bikes and i absolutely agree they are the most dangerous things on the planet. I have also accepted that if i die on my bike, its the way i would want to go. There isnt a single rider out there who doesnt have at least 20 "i almost died" stories.. myself included. Its my hobby, i love it and ill live with it.

Bikes are fun!!!

Yes, that is my leg, and yes I still ride.

To say you gotta couple of screws looose.....lol

Ive got more money into my leg, then most do their cars.... Plus i still need to have another surgery.

I also do not go off at the airport

im getting my license soon and maybe a bike after.
every single person i mention buying a bike to basically freaks out and says its too dangerous.
and im sorta stuck in between wanting one because its a life dream to have one, and people including my mom saying they wont talk to me if i get one lol...
its a serious decision, and hope that taking the safety course will help make it.

Had 3 Harleys..... now 2 kids.. No longer ride.

Be safe..

sounds like your boy just doesn't know how to ride safely. this sounds like 100% his fault
