I was in class on friday and my teacher brought out some car sports magazine and showed us an article about how motorcycle riders have a slightly higher risk of cancer in parts from the waist down, such as prostate cancer. This is a result of riders straddling the engine which gives off radiation. She said the article is just reporting a new theory but nothing is proven. Has anyone else heard about this??

 

I don't buy it. Radiation, since when are our bikes nuclear?

 

This effects me how? Did you know that bananas give of small amounts of gamma rays?

 

Hogwash!!!!

theres a report about everything that will cause cancer. Im not sure you can do anything without getting cancer.

 

Ha. What doesn't give you cancer anymore?

 

This just in...breathing air causes cancer!

 

Well, I heard saliva causes cancer, but only if swallowed in small amounts over a period of years...

 

Thats it Im spitting from now on.. I don't care where Im at Im not getting cancer!!!!

 

I might have given it the benefit of the doubt if it sai due to more exposure to the sun (for those ridin without gear) but then again, road rash is a perfect cure for skin cancer.

 

geez...if riding my bike gives me cancer then bring it on. I'd rather die from cancer of riding my bike........than dying from being an **** retentive a$$ who avoided any kind of risk. Hell...reading this website probably gives me cancer....fine...somebody pass me a cigarette [sm=smokin.gif]
