But these are generally young testosterone infused men, who have cheated death in war, and live life risky when they get back stateside. There are a lot killed in motorcycle crashes though.
Interesting. I have not ridden a motorcycle in a year and a half. But by riding and getting old it has made me imo a better driver. My mentality even in my truck is to look 3 steps ahead to identify threats. I am constantly on the prowl mentally to see who is out to kill me and I think its from years of riding motorcycles. I cant seem to shake it and I think its probably a good thing.
Like so many, when I was a young man I was absolutely not like this and threw caution to the wind and just let it rip.
