It’s the other vehicles on the road that make me consider selling mine. It’s almost more stressful than relaxing to ride now. Covid made people extremely impatient and the road rage is insane. Add to that the distracted and oblivious drivers, and it’s a disaster waiting to happen.

It's still a crotch rocket. Not a matter if you get yourself killed by when.

Ridiculous argument. Truly. If you accept this, you’ve resigned yourself to crashing and in your case dying. You don’t think this way when you get behind the wheel of your Prius do you? “It’s not if, it’s when.’” Or my other favorite “There are two kinds of riders. Those who’ve gone down and those who will.” Why is a motorcycle any different than a car? It’s not a forgone conclusion you’re gonna crash. That’s silly.
You think crashing a Bagger at 80 mph is somehow less damaging than crashing your H2 R? |

An old saying:
Spend any time riding horses or motorcycles and eventually you will get hurt. |

I had a 1974 900 Kawasaki then which was supposed to do 140 MPH; it was stock except for a header. I was drunk one night and decided to wind it out, which I did on a nearby parkway. It was bouncing at 135+ and almost 9,000 RPM which was the redline in high gear. Obviously, I didn't crash. |

I put 450 miles on mine yesterday. Average speed 60 mph, 40 mpg. Two up. Nimble it’s not. One doesn’t flick an 850# bike.

Is it your argument that cars don't look like "cars" unless they are shaped like a Model-T? |

Looks matter which explains why your bike looks filthy.
