+ 1. Don't do anything if you don't wanna kill yourself because there is danger associated with everything.

He's is saying that by someone saying they dont want to kill themselves means that all you have to do is not attempt to kill yourself. You already make the implication that by getting a bike you will probably do just that.
All you should say is you wanna get a bike.....and leave it at that. Or, i want to get a bike, and want to make sure i get a machine that is within my limits.

I laugh along with him, i think its real funny how many of you guys come in here and post with the "I'm a noob, first bike" thread when there literally are SOOOO many of them. Go out, test ride a bike, and see what YOU like! Take an MSF course, you'll be on a 250 or less and decide that whatever you get after that will be MORE than enough for you, as long as its a little faster than this piece of shit!

its safer to sit at home on a couch, smoke weed, and watch cartoons
but everyone knows all the real fun is in risking your life for no apparent reason

I feel the exact same way and everyone looks at me like i'm crazy when i say it. i feel way more in control of what's happening/going to happen...aside from an idiot running into me or side swiping me

i look at it like this, i can jump off the bike if ned be to clear myself of an impending bad situation. it's alot harder to jump out of a car. factor in the fact that a bike will out manuever, out accelerate, and most importantly, out brake just about any car on the road, and it's a no brainer. not to mention the fact that i can see alot more on the bike, and i tend to be ALOT more focused on what's going on around me without the distraction of a radio, cell phone, etc.

it's not myself i worry about, it's the idiots in cages on the phone and not paying attention to what the hell they're doing. people tend to forget what kind of damage a ton of rolling metal and plastic can do when it hits something, and they're deffinatly not thinking abouty what it would do if it hit me and/or my bike.
