You mean an "organ donor"?

I know a guy who works in the ER...more organs get donated every year from guys riding organ donors than any other cause of death.

If that doesn't shock you, 100% of motorcycle riders will die at some point.

If you're a first time buyer/rider I'd strongly advise you to buy a used bike somewhere in the area of size and how you plan to use it. No sense getting one new off the showroom floor since your chances of scraping up the shiny stuff is pretty high the first year of ownership.

Insurance will be cheaper on a used bike as opposed to new. Take the MSF course before you go buy a bike too as it will help familiarize you with how bikes work and what to look out for when riding. Riding a bike is not at all like riding in a car, and that is what I love about it.

I've been riding bikes for closing in on 50 years now and I don't even know how many miles I've got on them, but suffice it to say, it's a lot. You need to ride like everybody is out to get you and know you can do some stupid shite to get yourself if not careful.

Good luck.

The expression is "donor-cycle." Ask your friend in the ER.

I would not drive one everyday in BR. Too many retards on the road. However, I would love to ride on a nice day out in the country.

I still have the MC endorsement on my license and have a KLR650 (military version) that runs well. I just don't trust all the other drivers on the road enough to ride it though. Pic of one like mine below

You’ll likely give an arm and a leg on the bike too.

I really hate motorcycles and people that occupy them.

Aside from the criminal aspect of it, I just assume give every one of them a little nudge with my right front bumper.

the best part about it is wearing black leather and having a bunch of overweight buddies who would try to beat people up for you

It’s much more likely you will pull out in front of him.

I’ve risen since I was 6 and started on a Honda Mini Trail 50 with fold up handlebars. It won’t be me to pull out in front of a bike.

And I still have the Mini Trail.

It's still more likely for you to pull out in front of a bike than for the bike to pull out in front of you.

I raced 50s, that still doesn't change anything. I'm still more likely in a car to hit him in a turning situation.

Don’t listen to these snowflake pansies , I’ve owned a bike most of my life , from 50cc to 1600cc, have never “laid it down” or even come close. Drive ultra defensively , pay attention to everyone and every situation, and when there’s no one around you let it rip.
If you’ve never owned a bike start small, 250cc, buy it used with under 10k miles.
Harley ultra is where ya end up, lol.
