I think squid crash videos are awesome to watch. It’s even better than watching movie special effects, until I start thinking about the human tolls behind each crash.

Some people are into that. I’m not…it irks me out. It’s especially weird to me that people post and seek out death videos on YouTube, for instance. Yech.

But with these crashes, for the most part they’re harmless. Yeah, they might have gotten really bad road rash, a broken nose, a broken leg, broken ribs, whatever, but they’re not going to die, lose a limb, or hit vegetative state as a result of their [altogether deserved] accidents. That makes me feel better about laughing my ass off at them.

I got a quote for that same bike from Geico. I’m 29 with one not-at-fault accident on my record. It was less than half of what the progressive one was. It was $400 or so for a year, full coverage.

I simply imply that riding a bicycle can allow the rider to get in good shape. Whether the rider has good shape to begin with or not is not implied in my statement.

I don’t understand how insurance could be that high.

My bike insurance for a year is what my car insurance costs every 6 months.

And the bike itself is better insured sitting still and moving than the car.

You’re insuring an older small-displacement bike. The price of insurance drops dramatically for motorcycles the farther they get from being new. If this was an ’05 DR-Z instead of an ’09, the price would drop to ~$300.

At Geico, I got a quote for a 2010 Ninja 650r. I’m 18, with no MSF, and no riding experience. $300 full year. I say that’s a pretty good deal I had a screenshot, but it loooks like I’ve deleted it.

P.s. What happened at 1:43 in that video? It looks like something breaks on his bike?
