Organ Donor Bike

This bike belongs to one of the younger mechanics where I work. I've seen Youtube videos of the stuff he and his friends do on these things & I just hope he outgrows it before he gets seriously injured or worse... The title phrase is not mine. I came from a friend of mine who works in the ER of a major hospital here in Dallas.... (still a really cool looking bike tho....)

We call them statistics looking for a place to happen.

Unfortunately, even if you ride a moped, you can be run over and killed by a driver not paying attention to the world around them. Most accidents involving a car and motorcycle are the fault of the car driver.

A LOT of power... I think the Gopro camera on their helmets is a substitute for brains....

Good, bad or ugly there's a lot of truth in your comments... It's a real shame though... I DO love motorcycles. When dinosaurs ruled the earth I had a 441 BSA Victor and a Triumph Tiger 650...... Gave it up when a Buick pulled out in front of me and I had to lay down the Triumph at speed......

Ouch! I've been fortunate so far. I rode a triumph t110 in Los Angeles back in the sixties without an accident. Been riding a Honda Shadow 750 for the last five years without one yet. Hopefully I can go a few more.
