I am Gen Z and I’m not fine with that. I chose to go to college far from where I grew up so that I would be independent and free and do stuff on my own accord, like buying a motorcycle.
I have an organ donor on my license. But I’m not trying to kill myself, I’m just following my heart.
It seems like fewer people in my generation have motorcycles because 1) we have less money (although you can save by replacing a car with one) than previous generations, and 2) the older generations constantly push the narrative that having a motorcycle is equivalent to having a death wish, which circles back to the point that they shouldn’t be spying on us all the time.
You’re taking a line and putting it on the road against planes.
Follow your heart all you want, my math teacher in high-school had a motorcycle. Broke his collar bone, fractured his skull, broke his leg and had road rash. Much like smoking cigarettes, you’re allowed to take your life into your own hands. Don’t convince yourself that you’re somehow doing otherwise.
There’s significantly less chance of getting fucked for life if yiu actually wear proper safety gear. Doesn’t stop the danger of others, though. But it can lower damage.
You sound so paranoid about safety I get the feeling you literally live in a suit of bubble-wrap. If they wanted your finger wagging they’d have asked you for it
And you are talking like people who ride motorcycles have a 100% death toll. Which is demonstrably false.
I don’t ride them, I’m 29 morbidly obese and have a shit sense of balance. I just can’t stand people who try to spread fear based on personal trauma they experienced instead of being factual about the real dangers of the world.

The plural of anecdotes isn’t data. You not being fine with that doesn’t mean the majority aren’t.
They never said the majority wasn’t.
Exactly! I appreciate hearing about a different point of view.
Are Gen Z pro organ donation?
I have an organ donor on my license. But I’m not trying to kill myself, I’m just following my heart.

The plural of anecdote isnt data. I’ve been riding for 45 years and I’m still here.
Data shows the vast majority of 2 vehicle motorcycle accidents are the fault of the other vehicle
Jesus christ, I don’t care what you risk your life doing.
Claiming that, somehow, riding isn’t dangerous or risky when it’s the other drivers on the road that are at fault is fucking brain damaged.
All it takes is one, and the rest of your life is fucked. I don’t give a shit what you decide is right for you. Genuinely.
There’s significantly less chance of getting fucked for life if yiu actually wear proper safety gear. Doesn’t stop the danger of others, though. But it can lower damage.
That’s great, I’m glad you make these choices for yourself.
I’m being as safe as I can. I’m ATGATT and I started on a beginner bike without much power.
Listen, again, you can do whatever you want.
Do not pretend it isn’t dangerous. This behavior will be what turns you into someone like my math teacher.

Sure buddy, you’ll never die.

Is that an argument against motorcycles?
Is what?
What?
