With all the reports of motorcycle accidents and deaths in the newspapers, I can't recommend that anyone use them. Only advantage is high mpg.

Organ donors are always needed.

Using that same logic Sheldon, with all of the news lately about children being kidnapped and/or killed, we probably shouldn't recommend having children. Also, there has been way too much news about athletes collapsing and dying on football fields and basketball courts, so let's stop recommending excercise and sports. And it seems like there are far more auto related deaths than motorcycle, so I would strongly recommend not using cars any more. I could go on but...........the article clearly stated that the driver was speeding on Hwy 1 and could not navigate a turn. You abuse ANYTHING, even eating, drinking, sex, taking shortcuts, you name it, and you risk injury or death. Even acting appropriately can lead there. Motorcycle riding is fun, exhilarating, economical transportation and recreation, when done sensibly. For you, I do not recommend it.
