I hate bikes, I was on one for about 10 minutes and I came off and I've got the scars to prove it. I had to have gravel removed from my elbow, I hate bikes.
There is danger in many things that are exciting, and tht comes from the fact that there is danger in that activity. One of the things I enjoy doing is mountain biking, but I realise my limits and I (try) to stay within those. A relative of mine broke his arm in three places after a big crash, and I've had plenty of big offs myself, but at the end of the day if you love it then you will get back on. To some extent, the same could be said for boxing, it ain't exactly tickling each other with feathers is it? Motorbikes are just one of hundreds of things that people do that can be dangerous, and at the end of the day, we live for the highs in life....not for doing the washing up on a gloomy sunday afternoon.
