I think so. You would have fun. It would put a completely different perspective on peoples' minds and make the world a different place.

I'm all about forcing people to do things they may not want to do just because.

My dad always said you shouldn't be able to get your license until you drive a motorcycle 500 miles, and at the end of the 500 miles they give you the keys to an 18 wheeler and you have to drive it back to where you started.
If you are 1. Still alive. 2. Ever want to drive again, have at it. |

A friend's funeral was today, died in a motorcycle accident.
My answer is no. |

... ah hells nah
Many American men don't have the balls - and we'd all suffer for it |

Yes. January/February would be particularly entertaining.

A lot of things are fun, until you're forced to do it. That's when it isn't fun anymore. |

Yeah it would be awesome if you did a bunch of people at once and they all had to follow the same route. Could make a comedy TV show |

Whoever owns the motorcycle probably wouldn't be too happy after I fucked it all up because I have no idea what I am doing.

You can't force people to ride a motorcycle, you can only tax them for not riding one.

I vote NO, because then there'd be too many fuckwits on my favorite secret roads.

View Quote I think I've been to enough funeral's of guy's just week's home after a deployment, been through some serious shit, PH's an all, only to get killed while riding a bike. And these were expert riders, too. I'm not one to ban what you see as enjoyment and I won't talk down to anyone who rides, but neither will I endorse something or put myself on a bike that I see as a reckless behavior, IMHO. |

Make everyone work an assembly line where the next motherfucker is waiting on the last motherfucker and so on.
Then I believe the world would be a smoother running machine.

A friend's funeral was today, died in a motorcycle accident. My answer is no. I'm truly sorry for your loss. Please remember though, that everyone dies-not everyone Lives. He really enjoyed riding, and it wasn't his fault. He lost his wedding ring at work turned around to go find it and an old man pulled out in front of him. He flew like 20+ feet. They had to amputate one of his legs at the knee, broke 6 ribs his face had a large laceration, died within the hour. Closed casket, 2 kids, just married 2 months ago. His friend bought a bike to ride with him, he is selling his now. You just can't win some fights I guess. I have nothing against bikes, I think they are awesome. Just not for me and too much risk. |

Forced? Of course not.
That being said, it wouldnt hurt to learn. Same way I think everyone should know how to drive stick. Posted Via AR15.Com Mobile |

why do people always want other people to do whatever they are doing and think the same as them?

like some people could use are four limbs to control a motorcycle...

All we need is every idiot playing road hockey at high speeds because "it goes fast and I'm a cocky asshole"

Just a random personal example; Spent the day at a water park in the summer heat with my GF and her friend. I was ass tired and we had a 3 hour trip back home. My car was a manual. Neither of them could drive stick, so I had to drive the whole way. On top of that, Im like an infant who falls asleep in vehicles, even when Im not dead tired from spending the day out in the summer heat. Woulda been nice to have one of them drive for a little bit. I dozed off and hit the rumble strips 2 times on the way home. Also have had to pick up drunk friende from the bar who ended up drinking more than they planned. Grabbed another friend to drive my car while I drive drunk friends car so they dont have to leave it downtown over night. Besides that, why not? Theres never a good reason to NOT learn how to do something. Posted Via AR15.Com Mobile |

Most "drivers" wouldn't survive a hour "riding".
Would cure a lot of misconceptions, though, the hard way. |

It would make them a better driver that's for sure... View Quote There's never a "for sure" with that statement. Some folks couldn't admit they were a screwup if you beat them over the head with irrefutable evidence. Our work involves WAY more driving on a daily basis than 90% of "4 wheelers" out there. We were given mandatory training which involves a vid showing 4-5 folks that were offered a behind the wheel course training session involving text messaging, phone usage and the like. Meant to demonstrate "you ain't nearly as good at multi-tasking as you think you are....". Not a single person completed the course without "killing" someone or having a major "accident". You STILL had a couple of folks in the vid (guess age/gender.....) who stated the course was unrealistic and the setups were unfair (IE, this is BS, I'm still a good driver, and will continue to risk the lives of others on the open road for the sake of boredom/entertainment). |
