uncle_bernieI don’t think so. In the book Proficient Motorcycling by David Hough (no, I don’t get residuals for pushing his book) he talks about acceptable levels of risk. When you get on a motorcycle you just accept a higher level of risk but, and this site is a good place for this, you have to arm yourself with all the tools and knowledge you can to minimize the risk that exists as much as is in your power. You aptly point out that motorcycles are DANGEROUS but that a lot of things in life, including cars, can be dangerous as well, and, if you saw the false sense of security under which motorists on Houston freeways are driving their cars you might come to the conclusion that cars can be even more dangerous than bikes. At least on a bike, unless you’re an idiot, you’ll think twice or five times about riding to close to the bumper of that car in front of you.
Hey man, you do what you can do,. Put the information out there for people and hope they pay attention. Ultimately, most of what happens on a bike is between our ears and with this site you’re trying to put stuff in there that will help folks. Nothing wrong with that.
