(19,138 posts)Honestly, not to be obnoxious, but they are dangerous. The riders may have 'mad skills', but of the 99.5% the other ppl (in 4 wheeled vehicles) on the road w/them I doubt 5% have 'mad skills' - they are INTO cars and wanted them - the rider NEEDS them (I hope they have them)......
That other 94.5% are likely to not see you, drink too much, not use turn signals, need better glasses, have a small blind spot in their eye, have a large blind spot in their car, raging at spouse on phone, texting, texting rage to spouse , looking for their phone/sunglasses /their spilled 7&7/ Goggle map/lost cd/fallen taco........
I had 2 classmates die before HS graduation....
Made husband get rid of it until kids got out of HS. (Look at life insurance rates w/a motorcycle).
I DO know they are fun... personal experience.
Just not safe w/4 wheeled vehicles sharing the road.
