Does anyone on here ride a motorcycle ?

Personally I've never even sat on one. But I was theorising that if I did ride a bike, whenever I'd get behind the wheel of a car I'd be more aware and sympathetic towards motor cyclists and their needs on the road. And that in itself makes a good case for learning to ride one.

What do you think ?

I don't own a motorbike, but I have been a passenger on one a few times, and it scared the bejaysis out of me.

I won't be sympathetic with any motorcyclist, cyclist, or motorist who has no respect or consideration for other
road users. The majority of motorcyclists I have come across on the roads are lunatics, who don't seem to care
about right of way or the highway code.

I not only ride bikes but also raced them.
Riding a bike sharpens up your road awareness you become far more observant and are always thinking 2 steps ahead of car Drivers.

It's not bikes that are dangerous but other road users.

Off road riding is a great way to get high thrills and adrenalin rush while being relatively safe.
