Good one. It's the nuts in the cars that are the most dangerous to a biker...

3. Motorcycles are safe now?
Who knew? :shrug:

A lot of people in the medical profession hate motorcycles. A lot of people in the medical profession ride motorcycles, too. But that doesn't stop them from hating motorcycles. If you've seen the damage the human body can sustain in a car accident, imagine that damage increased to the nth degree as it often is in a motorcycle accident. Motorbike accidents are nightmares for trauma surgeons, vascular surgeons, orthopedists, gastroenterologists ('cause the gut is where the handlebars usually end up...) and family members alike...

Motorcycles look cool, but I'm sticking with my PT Cruiser... B-)

4. Sorry Aristus... but...
I didn't read past the "damage to the human body" part.

7. No, bikes aren't exactly safe
But sex is a lot more dangerous than it used to be. :(

I can attest to the damage to the human body, been scraped up off the pavement and stitched up a couple times. It damn sure ain't for the faint of heart :evilgrin:

9. Granted, I've seen the damage the body can sustain as a result of unsafe sex, as well.
So, be safe and careful, no matter what you're riding... :P

13. Always
I've been riding motorcycles for 31 years, and the secret to survival is learning to crash well :rofl:

and to always wear a helmet, whatever you're riding :P

10. A lot of people in the medical profession smoke, too.
Sometimes people who know better do dumb things.

12. Yeah. Crazy, huh?
Back in the '50's doctors used to make TV commercials for cigarettes. "After a long day in the OR, I like to relax and unwind with a Camel. Camel: 21 great tobaccos make 20 great smokes!"

Weird...

14. How about sex on a motorcycle?
That was not a proposition. It was just a rhetorical question.
;-)
