The problem with this article is that he just wants to ban motorcyclist instead of growing up and taking responsibility. To me what he is saying is that if there were no motorcyclist then everyone could drive even worse than they already do and chances are you'll live because you have a cage around you so why not text while driving, put on makeup, read a book cause whats the worst that will happen. What he should say in the article is to tell his fellow cagers to watch out for motorcyclist so that the fatality rate decreases. As the ole saying goes if your not part of the solution then your part of the problem and this author is part of the problem.

They should ban moronic reporters. More people die from reactions to stupid reporting than riding.

The fact someone actually takes this article serious enough to post it on internet forums is embarressing. Its so far from ever happening theres no reason to waste time even reading about it.

Well this is true. I agree that it will never happen but I am glad for the post because I am super bored at work so it was a good way to pass some time.

You take internet forums seriously?

Seriously though, if you click on one of those statistic websites he posts it states that the majority of accidents are from the 1,001-1400cc range or motorcycles... just sayin...

I believe in statistics as much as I believe I can crap rainbows and fart fairy dust.

I'm just sayin... he posted an R6/R1 in the picture for the article while the statistics he is basing his rant on more than likely talking about... er hem... non-sport bikes.
