You're watching anime of the season, right anon? It's sponsored by 5 different motorcycle companies, so that means you're not a real rider unless you watch it.

Even if you're a good motorcycle rider, you can't trust others on the road. Motorcycles are are dangerous as all fuck for that reason.
>>71668040
cause I'm not a faggot.
>>71669005
You just love to ride things don't you Sven?
>>71668040
Rain all year round and if you're lucky you'll get to ride for maybe a 30 or 60 days a year. The few sunny days we have here i do see people taking their motorcycles for a spin. But it's usually only rich people who invest in motorcycles because shitty weather year round.
I do plan on getting my motorcycle license eventually but it's nearly $6k for the license alone which i can't afford yet.
I hate motorcycles and think that they should be illegal. Just look at the rates of death for motorcyclists versus car drivers. Motorcyclists are much more likely to be killed. If something is dangerous, the law is supposed to outlaw it or make it more safe. That's why I have to wear a motherfucking seatbelt in my car.
It cracks me up how dumbass bikers blame car drivers for motorcycling being dangerous.
"Driving a motorcyle is dangerous because car drivers don't see us!"
>Two seconds later
"Dude check me out doing this wheelie on the highway. YOLO."
It's like riiiiight. Your own speeding and reckless driving has nothing to do with it.
>>71669041
still, most crashes are caused by the rider
they say there are two types of riders: those that crashed and those that will crash
I've been on the ground twice, luckily no lasting injuries but I do wear the fullest protection available, always
I've seen enough brutal motorcycle accidents on 4chan throughout the years to know better. Bikes are a coffins on two wheels.

Any bike worth riding that can go safely at the highway without shaking like a loose bolt and be comfortable at the same time goes for as much as a used car. That goes up tremendously high if you buy proper riding gear.
That and proper riding gear looks fucking gay, riding around with a leather riding suit that has alpinestars plastered all over it is fucking cuckoldry at best.

If you need a bike to tell you that you're manly, I don't know what to tell you.

I've bought a bike but you have to go through so much goddamn red tape to ride it legally. You have to take a 2 day class that costs $350.00. There aren't any locations in the city I live in so I have to find a bus that will get me to a smaller city at 8 AM on Saturday and Sunday. What makes this even more galling is that I'm old.

let the future forget you were ever a citizen of the USA to spare us the shame of association.
anyways, this is how i feel about motorcycles. yes, they are raging cymbals of masculinity. however, they're also pretty much a death wish.
that's pretty much the whole story. i don't have a death wish.

>>71668040
Women drivers. I can be the best, most alert, defensive rider but one woman texting her bf and putting on makeup while steering with her knee entering the highway cutting across 3 lanes and I am dead.
Plus cops love to write tickets to motorcyclist.

>>71671386
>>mobile scout that can be heard from 2 miles away, 4 on a quiet night.
I ride a motorcycle, but it's certainly for for masculine reasons.
I just don't like driving cars because being too close to other cars makes me anxious. When you're driving down narrow roads and there's only about 2 inches of room either side of you.
Sadly that is about 90% of UK urban roads.

The salt in the wound? Wake up in hospital. Find the cops cited me over my helmet and insurance paid to repair her truck not my bike or medical bills. Bitch had no license or insurance or visa.

The closest I've ever come to being hit was when a guy decided to turn across my path without indicating at full speed. This is the only situation I can think of that's unnavoidable since you are coming at each other
Luckily this was in a car park so I locked up and ended up on one wheel but didn't crash.
But around cars moving with you? Don't ride alongside people, constantly check your mirrors every few seconds and treat every single other person on the road as though they just got their licences that days.

>>71677014
When you aren't around other people in their cars it's probably one of the best feelings in the world, and I've been skydiving.
But when you're commuting, you treat each and every person on the road like they are idiots. Weave in your lane to remind people that you have the same space as a car for safety, keep an appropriate gap from the car in front (which is longer than in your car since a car can stop much faster than a bike), ride for the conditions 4-5 cars ahead not just the guy in front, when stopping do it between cars or in such a way that if someone behind you isn't paying attention you can jump up the side of stopped traffic and let the other car take the hit in the ass
Honestly with some of the shIt i see on YouTube it makes me wonder if people in the states need to take any sort of test for their licences.
>>71677527
Most of what you see of motor vehicle crashes are niggers and illegal immigrants that essentially aren't required to get licenses because no one will call them out on it because it's racist.

>>71677527
>When you aren't around other people in their cars it's probably one of the best feelings in the world, and I've been skydiving.
I wonder why they don't have segregated motorcycle lanes, they do it for carpoolers and a bike is probably even more gas efficient than that. Not to mention nobody actually carpools.
>makes me wonder if people in the states need to take any sort of test for their licences.

>>71677874
>I don't know a single person who owns a truck that doesn't use it to haul shit at least every month

Not in the US. Here it's a standard car type for women
>>71677875
>my test was...
Christ no wonder. In shitpostistan we gotta take a 2 day riders course that runs through the basics of using a bike, road rules and riding etiquette, stopping position, etc. then you have to pass their test, take that to the RMS (our version of a DMV) and then sit a road safety test there as well to make sure you know how to not fucking kill people on the road, and then you're limited to a 250cc bike for the first 12 months.

Who's they? You seem to vastly overestimate the number of carpool lanes in America. There are zero in my entire state. They are only popular in libtard cities with inflated budgets from their retardedly high taxes.
>>71678214
Not a bike license, I meant a regular drivers license. There was a half assed written test but I guessed half the questions and passed with zero studying.
>>71668040
Because of short driving season. Cars are hugely convenient. However, riding a motorcycle is the purest form of transportation. The smallest mistake will kill the rider and there is no assist (on my bike at least). With the usual cars, one has to really push to make the car exceed the driver given the conditions are optimal. A modern sportbike will always have the uncontrollably fast and untamed on tap.
>>71678345
>You seem to vastly overestimate the number of carpool lanes in America
I don't remember giving any numbers, I'm just saying carpool lanes exist and motorcycle lanes don't.
>>71678412
>uncontrollably fast and untamed
Modern super bikes (since ~2007) have electronic programmed governors in them mandated by the governments the factories are located in, mostly Japan. There's no such thing as untamed anymore.

>>71678912
Still has to be safer than dancing around giant ass trucks and texters.
>>71678927
I was thinking of a motorcycle only lane, the incentive for the state being that bikes are very fuel efficient (in the same vein of a carpool lane), and the incentive for the rider being you don't have to worry about getting hit by a 5 ton truck, just another bike.

Look at my flag, little cuckold amerifatty. In here it's an enthusiast thing, there are people in my town who have put in 20k€ just on their cars sound system just to get it sound nice. It's also part of the vocational-school culture, especially on car-, metal-, electronic-, and machinery-sides that you invest some of the knowledge into fabricating a shitbox into something that rides and sounds nicer until you can get better and bigger cars.
I've worked with 30-40 year old engineers and electricians who put big-ass woofers in their cars because it's a fun hobby and there's a pretty sweet, non-nigger culture to support it.
