Like Paul Harvey used to say, The statistics will say anything if you torture them long enough.
No matter how many times you paint over a shadow, it's still there.

GUESS WHAT?

Living will kill you!!
That's right!
100% of EVERY human who EVER lived eventually died.

Ban living then, right??!?!?!

Stupid fu#k!.
So, yes,  cycles are more dangerous than cars - I realize this fact but it's MY arse and I take responsibilities for MY actions.

You know what kills the most people on earth (other than being alive)?
POVERTY.
Seriously.
If this douche really wants to make a difference then he needs to fight to end poverty and the malnutrition, disease, and war it brings.

I owe you a beer. 

well said.

 People write stuff like this to draw traffic. It's like the sports radio guy taking a position he doesn't really believe just to get all the phone calls. In that he seems to have succeeded.
 
 Motorcycles aren't going to be banned. Just the opposite with rising fuel costs.
 
 BTW, what states don't require motorcycle insurance?

Among all his other garbage is where he states that motorcycles emit  more NOX pollution than other vehicles.
How the heck is that true? New bikes DO have converters.
Wonder what HE drives?
