A motorcycle is one way for people to be accountable for their behavior. Maybe we should require that every new driver be limited to a motorcycle for a few years. Many of those, who do not learn, will not be able to kill people with SUVs.
Thank you for this! I have forwarded it to my children, along with a note stating they will never be allowed to ride a motorcycle as long as I have anything to say about it.

"…they will never be allowed to ride a motorcycle as long as I have anything to say about it."
Mary, you know I'm a biker, right?
I ride a motorcycle to work every day, and last year an inattentive motorist nearly killed me on it.
Still, I continue to ride.
The graphic just struck me as funny, and it does have the ring of truth to it, for a certain subset of motorcyclists.
. . . a certain subset of motorcyclists. Would that be like the young idiots racing down main street on their back wheels alone? Fortunately, for their next of kin, a police 'cycle happened to be one of the vehicles they zipped past. I suspect he gave them quite an earful!

I am of the opinion that signed organ donor card should suffice as a motorcycle license.
