Re: [emrat:13825] Interesting news about motorcycle rallies

POP QUIZ. --  WHICH IS MOST DANGEROUS ?

(A). --  AN INTOXICATED HARLEY RIDER AT STURGIS,

(B). --  THE "MILLENIAL" DRIVING WHILE TEXTING HER (?) ENTIRE CONTACT LIST ENQUIRING WHAT GENDER THEY BELIEVE SHE (?) REALLY IS.

(C). --  BOTH

(D). --  NEITHER

The correct answer is "C"&"D" (IMO)

If a person is killed by either, your chance of checking out rises to 100%. If not, no matter how many close calls, you are statistically at zero. Motor on.

Myself, I would be more in danger at Sturgis taking in the sights and crashing and probably dominoeing 20 H.D.`s. (Click picture below)

Manny, I am the "Poster Boy" for bad decisions & questionable behaviour, (If you don`t believe me, just ask Kathy) but fate & good luck has kept 

me going up to this minute, but that can change instantly. I hope fate & good luck is on the side of all you "Rat`s". But keep in mind, "It`s a Jungle out there"

Manny, I know that you meant "population", but I would argue that "pollution" might also be accurate. 

It is worth noting that the 7 rallies cited are predominantly cruiser-style events rather than Beemer/Goldwing type rallies. The authors noted alcohol and helmet use played significant roles.

Also, it's Sturgis.  A lot of bad decisions made.  For starters, inadequate or no helmets combined with other questionable behavior.  Correlation does not equal causation, but this statistic seems very telling of a certain pollution of riders.

There's a lot of questions about how motorcycles operating in a world of self driving cars and trucks. I don't have much confidence in them being integrated in the long run. Who knows though? Ride them like you stole them!

There is actual concern in the medical community about the impact self-driving cars are going to have on the organ donation market.  We'll be even more valuable soon!
