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

      Surely you understand that everyone has different thresholds of acceptable danger?

      just gonna point to one of my previous replies where you probably should have picked up the understanding that your own personal acceptable danger threshold is your own personal danger threshold and isn't actually a universal thing you can apply to everyone because we're all different people

      But don't let reality get in the way of your smug redditposting

        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
