bikes are a smaller volume market, they can get away with less because its more "specialized" stop baiting cagers just to get you tho, made you deserve a sage

Because the jews make more money off selling you protective gear than trying to sell you safety features on your deathwish machine.

Actually politicians from my country have said in the past that motorcycles are an incredibly stupid idea and are only legal because of customary right. If they'd be invented now they'd never get permission on public roads. So the double standards are already being acknowledged, it's just that bikes have been here for too long to do away with them now.
Joseph Cook
What bike?
Elijah Foster
@everyone
are you guys fucking stupid
Lincoln Myers
That makes a lot of sense. I imagine that's the biggest reason they're still allowed in many countries.
Leo Roberts
As a bike rider, yes. It's like people have a right to smoke, only because 1. the manufacturers have their finger in the pie and 2. because 'people have always smoked'. Cigarettes wouldn't pass safety standards today, either. At least, I hope not.
Luke Ramirez
there's enough talk about banning motorcycles but it's unlikely imo
thing is most motorcyclists don't cause accidents cuckcagers cause most of the accidents and kill motorcyclists
would be like banning people while talking about banning guns

It's about half/half. Most cagers are just looking for cars when they milisecond-check intersections, I get the same shit in my miata with 15x8's and sticky wheels. Motorbikes are inherently unstable, so there's the other half.
Levi Sullivan
I'm just talking statistically it's not 50/50 there cagers literally cause most of the accidents where motorcyclists are involved
Blake Martin
Depends on which country you're pulling stats from. In NZ, some 10% of road deaths are bikes where something like 2% of all roadusers at an average time are motorcyclists. Additionally, a smidge more than 50% of accidents involving motorcycles place the cyclist at primary fault.
Having said that, ACC (government compensation) was recently rakes across the coals in including dirtbikes/ATVs and offroad incidents in these road stats, but still it's not really in the bikers favour as not being of primary fault.
Page 9, non-fatal crashes are slightly in the bikers favour, but it's still pretty bad.
Anyhow user, g'night. I'm off to bed.
Thomas Peterson
rz350 mate after '86 i think they stopped being produced in the us, and only a few places have the fully dressed version ('89+) >thinking im samefagging notice the lack of bike attached to those posts.
Oliver Long
great thread everyone
anyways, I'd chalk it up to soccer moms DEMANDING cars be safe for Tyrone's children, and instead of voting with their wallet, forced the government to make it so. Which I find disappointing, because I never knew we had cars that could do in the 50s and 60s of mileage in the 90s, while shit like that is fucking unheard of on most modern shitboxes.

Bikes are an avenue of social darwinism. Only retards ride bikes so it is in the best interest of society that they remain death traps.
Chase Johnson
>only retards ride bikes why do you think this though
Dominic Reed
It's the same in the UK, a huge number of motorcyclists die in "Single vehicle accidents" meaning they fucked up and crashed on their own youtube.com/watch?v=bjB9fszqXDI
Luke Torres
I don't know, because the chances of getting maimed or killed due to some moron are far greater riding a motorcycle than a car?
Cooper Flores
So just because it's dangerous? You're not just rolling a dice when you go out riding. Crashes don't just happen by chance. If you cut out anything that increases your chance of injury/death in your life you would be pretty bored. And people still die in car crashes every day.
Easton Gray
>just because it's dangerous? No, because it's more dangerous. That's really it. Of course the driver's skill comes into play, but there's no way even the most talented driver can predict others stupidity accurately. The end result is that you have to assume other idiots will fuck things up, even if you don't, making a car the safer choice by definition.
Dylan Russell
>Crashes don't just happen by chance Lmao, what is my insurance doing in Veeky Forums?
Leo Nelson
>because it's more dangerous.
Yeah but it's also more fun.
Nathaniel Mitchell
your drivers must be really shit or I'm really lucky to get away with about 500km a week in all sorts of places and conditions for the last few years and at least 200km a week for 6 years now
Maybe it helps that I spend most of my day driving through traffic but I haven't been in a totally unavoidable mva yet
Aaron Rodriguez
>Yeah but it's also more fun You're probably right, but no one's denying that.
>your drivers must be really shit They are. >Maybe it helps It does.
>I haven't been in a totally unavoidable mva yet Hopefully, you never will be. But it's one of those things that's always a possibility.
