I love riding on a motorcycle! There is nothing like the freedom you feel from the wind blowing in your face and being out on the open road. Of course the summer is the best time for it but I'm hoping I might get to have one more ride before the winter comes.

Most people are afraid to ride on them but I've haven't found anyone yet who wasn't an excellant driver. The majority are very courteous and don't do stupid things. Bikers have a bad reputation but I honestly never met one who was anything like we always hear about them. I'm sure their out there just like anyone else there are always the "bad apples" but just because a guy drives a motorcycle doesn't mean he's not a good driver or person.

Have you ever been a passenger or driver of a motorcycle?
If not...if you had the chance would you ride on one?

I am not a motorcycle fan, ctry, but that is due to my fear. I'm even afraid of riding in cars, lol. I did go for a ride on one many years ago. It was only around my block, but I was scared witless. The driver was a very good one, but I was just too afraid to enjoy the ride. I ended up walking back to my house which was a short distance away.

Oh, I'm sorry you have that fear...but at least you tried it..that's what counts.

yes i've been but i don't like it because it makes me feel real scared..in here i seen a lot of people who died because of motorcycle accidents..i hate the drivers at night when all they do was just run their motorbike faster that it could fly them up..and also its so noisy at night and i cannot sleep when i hear them..they drive like there's no driving for tomorrow..i had seen so many youngsters in here just hit anything that killed them becuase their over speeding..


myLot reputation of 97/100. ctrymuziklvr (4473)   ranked 1 out of 37 in motorcycles  1 year ago

Accidents can even happen in cars so I think it's taking the same chance either way. Just like car drivers there are the occasional motorcycle riders that speed.

I have always tried to learn how to ride and drive a motorcycle since in university. But it seems my sense of balance gets the better of me. I always fall on one side or the other, whenever I make a turn! I was also poor at riding bicycles. I could not get them running unless I am seated right on the seat. I had to settle being a backseat rider on bikes. It's fun and I envy those who are really good at them. It's a fuel efficient ride and given an opportunity to learn how to drive them the easy way, I'll do it.
I've crashed bikes along mountain sides and driven them down ditches! LOL.


myLot reputation of 97/100. ctrymuziklvr (4473)   ranked 1 out of 37 in motorcycles  1 year ago

Having a balance problem would not be a good thing if you're trying to drive a bike whether it's a motorcycle or regular bike. You're right they are fuel efficient.

Oh no I'm scared of them and would never get on one. I have seen to many people hurt on them and then other drivers don't watch out for them


myLot reputation of 97/100. ctrymuziklvr (4473)   ranked 1 out of 37 in motorcycles  1 year ago

I think a lot of motorcycle accidents happen because of the car drivers. Especially now with everyone driving and using cell phones. I've never seen a biker on a cell phone...lol..

I have been a passenger on a motorcycle. One of my friends loves his bike and regularly rides almost every day. He gets great gas mileage, which is good because he doesn't live near his work.


myLot reputation of 97/100. ctrymuziklvr (4473)   ranked 1 out of 37 in motorcycles  1 year ago

Fuel efficeincy is probably a good reason to get a motorcycle these days. Do you enjoy riding?

myLot reputation of 97/100. ctrymuziklvr (4473)   ranked 1 out of 37 in motorcycles  1 year ago

There are a lot of female motorcycle riders on the road! The traffic experience will probably be scary at first...just be careful.

Cute story about your parents! Once you get to know your g/f's cousin you should take a ride someday. I'm sure you will enjoy it.

I'm a pretty adventurous girl but that's one thing I'm really not interested in. I'm 25 and from age 7 to present day I've been in about 10 car accidents. about 4 that totalled the car and were pretty serious. Fortunately, I survive mostly unharmed. But knowing what can happen in a CAR...it scares the heck out of me to imagine being on a motorcycle. Because you have NO metal to protect you, just a helmet. And that's not enough for me.

It's kind of silly to be scared of a simple "what if" type situation, but it's just something I'd like to not even think "what if" about.


myLot reputation of 97/100. ctrymuziklvr (4473)   ranked 1 out of 37 in motorcycles  1 year ago

You sound like my son's fiance'. She's been in more car accidents than I can count. It's not silly to be scared of a "what if" situation but as you well know...accidents can also happen in cars.


myLot reputation of 97/100. raychill (3491)   ranked 28 out of 37 in motorcycles  1 year ago

well yeah. Accidents can happen in a car... but like I said "knowing what can happen in a CAR...it scares the heck out of me to imagine being on a motorcycle. Because you have NO metal to protect you, just a helmet."

at least in a car you have airbags and you have seatbelts and you have metal! in a motorcycle, you hav a helmet. and let me also tell you that I actually witness a car accident that happened between a big rig truck and a motorcyle. It happened right in front of my house when I was about 14... i heard a noise and looked outside and it wasn't pretty.

I have been on motor cycles a couple of times. I find them a bit scary. This is because accidents are so much higher with motorbikes.


myLot reputation of 97/100. ctrymuziklvr (4473)   ranked 1 out of 37 in motorcycles  1 year ago

I just read that motorcycles account for only 45% of vehicle accidents. I realize that is close but it's still less than cars. I would think it's because you won't see a biker with a cell phone to his ear.

Hi, I love to ride on motorcycles. I love the feeling when the wind is blowing and you out in the open. I like how motorcycles save on gas with these gas prices I would travel via motorcycle everyday if I could. Motorcycles are cool.


myLot reputation of 97/100. ctrymuziklvr (4473)   ranked 1 out of 37 in motorcycles  1 year ago

I feel the same way. If I could ride on one every day that would be so cool!
