Definitely need motorcycle safety training!!!!!

Would say the MSF course is the absolute minimum before spending very much time riding in traffic. What scares me the most is vehicles pulling out in front of me. I wasn't worried about "overcooking" a turn because I was a fairly relaxed rider. You also need 100% concentration at all times. If you find your mind wandering on a ride, immediately turn around and go home because you aren't prepared to ride that day.

In my book, the Isle of Man TT races take the cake for worst crashes ever.**

Those guys are certifiably insane.

Same here. I have a weird fascination with watching those races.

One of the comments mentioned a lack of fear, see inside for their quote.

I read that same comment, and I can't say I disagree!**
MP4VT2004 • 05/06/26 09:48 PM ET
I wonder if this guy is dead yet**

It's only a matter of time before he bounces off a light pole or guardrail.

Definitely a component of my road rage**

I have come to despise motorcycles. At least, the "crotch rocket" types.
VT_Consul • 05/06/26 02:52 PM ET
On the plus side, I'd vastly prefer people who are that reckless and stupid

Check out the video I linked above**

Just looked at the first three (sans volume) and can say....

When I learned to ride, I was taught most motorcycle wrecks happen for one
Tafkam Hokie • 05/06/26 12:41 PM ET
I've watched several of DanDanTheFireman's videos, and he does a good job..
EDGEMAN • 05/06/26 01:56 PM ET
That's why they are called suicycles.**
