Heated grips are the best comfort feature on a bike. Now I just need something to heat my knees up and I should be good for winter.

... Or I just take the car...

eezy-overs...

One thing that no amount of riding courses can prepare you, if how quickly you get gatvol, for is the dreaded:"O, you ride a motorcycle -the friend of my uncles hamster breeders' hairdresser rode a motorcycle - and he died."

I've jumped between just saying something like:"Well, it's something that I've always wanted to do" all the way to:"Well, my uncle was unhappily married, and he killed himself, so you win some you lose some."

What's your go to answers?

"He lived more in the time he wasn't stuck in traffic than you will ever get to experience"

Ha ha ja that never gets old.

Outside of saying "Go **** yourself" I've gotten creative with things like "Oooh that's cool, means I'll have some mates on the other side".

But usually I just go for something like "Yes and people die in cars all the time too, but you don't see anyone doing anything about that".

Or more specifically "Yes and thousands of people die in cars every day, so what makes him special"?"

Easy: "My Uncle's best friends cousins sisters niece drove a car, - and she died in a car accident".

End of discussion.

I think the reason why some people dislike bikers, is because they're just too scared to ride themselves

It's 100% this.

The amount of times I've heard "Ooooh I love bikes...but I would never ride one".

 

[faniebraai]

"Yeah, but what a way to go!"

"And what's your point?"

Weird how when you say to someone, "I'm going to such and such a place and I'm going to walk", they don't get all hot under the collar, since over 4000 pedestrians died on SA roads last year in 2017. Compare that to only 166 motorcyclist fatalities. So you're statistically 24 times more likely to be killed walking somewhere than riding. To me the logic is clear. If you have to go somewhere, take two wheels instead of two feet!
