The trick is to be aware of dangers and mitigate their consequences. Common sense really.
And as my dad always said, "If the left one don't get ya, the right one will." So I suppose we should all just have fun doing what we love while we are above ground.
got to chime on on this, as one of the only millennials on the forum. the fact is that, for most people, a motorcycle is a secondary means of transportation. if you buy one, it's a secondary vehicle. most millennials absolutely cannot afford that kind of recreational expenditure. it's simple economics. millennials by and large will not spend money on something they can't afford. it's got zero to do with danger/risk aversion. one of the only reasons i started riding in my 20's was because i broke the system by using my bike as my primary means of transportation and giving up cars. everybody else in my peer group won't touch motorcycles, because they can't justify the expense when they already have a car.

Hello fellow millennial! Boomers,
, amirite? When I'm group riding, it's primarily with fellow millennial ladies ([url=https://www.thelitas.co/]The Litas), and it is absolutely considered a luxury second vehicle by us. But then we also haven't prioritized buying houses or having kids, for the most part.
