I can see the line of logic to the author's post....but I'd like to make a small change.

If we just ban all cars, motorcyclists would only have to worry about being hit by themselves. That would greatly lessen
the odds of being killed.  :D

I thought the stats show almost as many bikers killed by running off the road as cars turning left in front of them.

I'll check back into it as it was years ago and my memory isn't what it used to be.


looks like the progressive mindset to bubble wrap the planet is going swimmingly :uglystupid2:

They mentioned Queensland-so i'm guessing Australia?? Didn't they already give up their guns?? Maybe all the powers that be want us back to cave man status. Of course THAT means the escalation of rock and sling weapons. Wood wheels versus rock wheels. Bare foot versus turtle shell boots. Runnin nekid versus-WAIT-nekid good.  :cooldude: RIDE SAFE.
Today is the tommorow you worried about yesterday. If at first you don't succeed screw it-save it for nite check.  1964  1968 U S Navy. Two cruises off Nam.

could you imagine when every idiot who drives a car hops on a motorcycle? Natural selection would be working overtime.

Using his logic, then we should ban cars with convertible tops and bicycles too (bicycles share the road too ya know). 
I can't help about the shape I'm in
I can't sing, I ain't pretty and my legs are thin
But don't ask me what I think of you
I might not give the answer that you want me to

think of how many lives it would save if they banned left hand turns.......problem solved.

With every mode of transportation, there is a down side. Buses, airplanes, trucks, etc.... being still very new to the motorcycle world, I find that with the coarses I took, I have become a better driver for that reason.
Now this is getting interesting........

funny you should mention that, when I was a letter carrier they laid out the routes so the left turns were at a minimium. for that very reason, it's safer....supposedly :evil:

Airplanes should be banned also. I God had wanted us to fly we would have been born with wings. The guy is an idiot

Seat belts and guard rails are the downfall of civilization.
The more you think about it, the clearer it becomes.
Aot of guys with burn marks,gnarly scars and funny twitches ask why I spend so much on safety gear

Safety fanatics have a neurosis, and should be heavily medicated until their fanaticism is brought under control.  Electroshock therapy should not be ruled out.   :evil:

That includes truckloads of G regulators.

This very article was discussed at the "Meeting of the Minds". The AMA, MRF, and ABATE our/have been warning riders of this very issue for some time now.

If it happens on Europe, Australia, or Canada, it will happen here eventually. And if you love to ride, then get involved before your bike becomes "garage sculpture".

Let me make it easy,.....just dial 1-800-AMA-JOIN

If they outlawed "rape and murder",......what fun would it be being a BIKER? (Sarcasm font on)
