try not to hit them motorcyclist....
quite a few of us have bikes... some of us actually paid more for the bikes than our miatas...
this is about SoCal.. but it really does apply everywhere... especially in states where helmet laws somehow don't exist:

my dad's bike has a cd changer, vents, real heat, electronic cruise control, adjustable angle windshield, fog lamps, heated grips, heated seat, REVERSE, linked brakes, on board air compressor, and probably a bunch of other **** I'm forgetting.
The new ones have NAVIGATION.

I have herd that a lot of accidents these days are older people on 800+cc bikes. Of course you have a lot of squids splatting everywhere. 
I want a bike, but I also kinda want a scooter. Scooters seem like fun and good mpg. Does this make me gay? (Or was it the miata?)

the new goldwings also have airbags.
riding around the suburbs of portland, drivers are fairly good, I definetly don't almost get ran over every ride, more like every 12 or so.
that should be added to a statewide sensus, "Oregon's nnde/r average is .0833"
(nnde/r=number of near death experiences per ride)

One more rider just lost in a colison with a 80 year old automobile driver. And they still act like there is nothing they can do. Bullshit if a ************ hits a bicyclist playing lance armstrong it makes national news, but since they where on a motorbike when they where run over it's ok. WTF Damn **** needs to change.
