- Bullsh*t. I've had two accidents on motorcycles. Once I went off the
- road, off an embankment, and into a mud puddle. The other time I had
- a car turn into me (not in front of me - INTO me). I didn't get so
- much as a bruise either time. (I did have to hammer the footpeg back
- into shape the second time-motocross boots are great!).
-
- I know of lots and lots of motorcycle accidents where the rider wasn't
- injured.
-
- I've had to take a week off from work twice as a result of bicycle
- accidents, and had surgery once from a bicycle overuse injury, but
- that doesn't seem to be as contriversial as a motorcycle.
-
- I liked the time when I went into work on crutches after a bicycle
- crash. As I passed by my secretary's desk she asked what happened.
- "I fell off my bike"
- "You should get rid of your motorcycle-they're dangerous"
- "I was riding my bicycle"
- "You should have been wearing a helmet"
- "I was wearing a helmet - I hurt my leg!"
