Look I'm as much "fuck cars" as the next guy but riding a motorcycle on a highway is unironically suicidal. I personally know a guy who got in a bad crash on one but miraculously survived; he had a year long recovery period but will have various pain and dysfunction in his body for the rest of his life. I also know some people who did pathology rotations (state medical examiner office, autopsy basically) and the big three categories of bodies coming in were drug overdoses, suicides, and motorcycle crashes.
One of the facebook comments links to a seventh person who died a few days before these on June 18th: https://www.fox13seattle.com/news/motorcyclist-killed-sr-530-crash.amp

you came into a thread about how a lot of motorcyclists died and now are complaining about how condescending it is to be told that what you are doing is unsafe

I do a stupid sport that has a high death rate. However, my public attitude toward it is "this is risky and stupid and you probably shouldn't do it" not "aTCUally if you look at this super special cohort of people who act perfectly it is not risky but super cool actually, you should all join in" anyway have some existential humility

The fatality rate for motorcycles is about the same as small planes, anybody arguing that it's safe is not very smart and they just want to be as annoying as possible before they bite it.

The woke scolds at hexbear are telling me not to ride my noisy death machine even though I started the conversation by massaging statistics to make it seem much safer than it is.
