Im not saying its as safe as a *Edit* Car. I understand all risks and accept them. I've got all my gear. I've taken the MSF. I'm reading and doing everything that I can possibly do to be safe once I get the bike. My point it though, like stated before, I just believe if it's my time, it's my time. It doesnt matter whether I'm in a car, on a motorcycle, crossing the street, on a boat, what ever. If it's my time, it wont be specifically because I got a motorcycle. Its hard to explain I guess.  |
You're having trouble explaining it because you're contradicting yourself. "More dangerous" in this case means "bigger chance of dying / getting injured seriously." That is the exact opposite of "i have just as good of a chance getting killed in a car accident."
CZRoe is dead on with this -- that kind of thinking is akin to ignoring the risks, which IMO can only make those risks bigger. If you don't think that the choices you make can have an effect on when you pass, then why even bother with the gear?
Life isn't a final destination movie (thankfully.. those movies suck
