Z3n posted:The thing that frustrates me about that argument is that nothing is stopping anyone from riding a motorcycle. If you are capable of driving a car, you are capable of riding a motorcycle. There's a whole group of people out there who are dedicated riders with assorted physical disabilities. Many are bitter because their wives "won't let them" and they don't have the stones to man up and do it.

SlightlyMadman posted:And how exactly would you know that? Hmmm? Living in SoCal, I've seen far too many dudes in crocs and their female counterparts, chicks in Uggs. I can't talk too much poo poo since I like wearing FiveFingers but those look way less stupid than Crocs or Uggs in 80 degree weather.

Kommando posted:Hardly, around here motorists HATE bicyclists. With a firey passion. The hate of bicyclists comes from two flavors of douchebag: First are the Lance Armstrong wanna-bes that ride three/four wide and unnecessarily take up a good chunk of a lane aand tend to not obey street signs or lights. Second are the fixie types that ride like they have deathwishes, don't have brakes, and don't obey street signs or lights. I would hate cyclists a lot less if they obeyed the god drat rules of the road like everyone else.

Aargh posted:I always seem to stick up for the cyclist in a lot of these online arguments, the thing is if a cyclist doesn't follow the road rules they might cause a very small amount of damage to a car, whereas when the car driver stands a very real chance of killing or severely injuring a cyclist when they don't follow the rules. You have this backwardst. If a cyclist doesn't follow the road rules, he stands a good chance of being being seriously injured or killed and most people aren't the sort of sociopaths that are going to care more about the dent on their car rather than the fact that they may well have killed a person (it can really screw a person up).

That actually looks like fairly minimal damage but I can't tell if the forks are bent or not

time to get some hybrid fuel economy. I'll also still be looking for a 250x, perhaps I'll graduate to a DRZ. Who knows, haven't talked to the adjuster yet.

Aargh posted:I wake up to 70 odd new posts in this thread and was worried something had happened to someone. Turns out there was a minor crash, some self diagnosed mild concussion and a bit of sperging, ah SA. Same, saw 92 new posts and thought someone died. Turned out, some guy just tried to "walk it off" a concussion cause he has poo poo insurance and seems more concerned about his drat Shoei than his melon.

Royale with Cheese posted:Had a friend crash in front of me yesterday. I was following behind him and he took a decreasing radius turn too quickly on an unfamiliar road. Caught up just in time to see him cross into the southbound lane and wrap around a guardrail. Luckily he was wearing a helmet and jacket, ended up with a solid concussion and a few lacerations. Bike had somewhat significant damage and might be totalled, but the rider was flown out by helicopter and most certainly had his head scanned at the hospital. And he won't be recycling the helmet either, the visor separated and tore the brackets out. That sucks, but at least he was relatively ok. Hope he has good insurance, helicopter rides are money. quote:Later on that day I was doing another backroad and got stung by a bee while group riding. Couldn't stop and check it out for ten minutes as there weren't any shoulders or driveways to pull into. lovely day for riding but it could be worse. That happened to me once, fucker hit me right in the neck then bounced off. Hurt for a week. Snowdens Secret posted:Sweet LF chat guys There's nothing "LF" about a dude having to do mental gymanstics to justify not going to a hospital after a drat motorcycle crash. Despite all the poo poo said in his direction, I can actually identify since when I refused medical attention after my first crash a few years ago because I had no money and my insurance was some lovely HMO and I had no idea if it would cover an ambulance ride that may or may not have been "out of network." Fortunately in my case, my shoulder took most of the impact and my head just scraped the ground instead of slamming into it. I also didn't experience any post-concussion symptoms, otherwise I would have found my way to an ER, bills be damned. Its not a calculation that should have to be made in a developed country.
