One of my dad's friends was going up to the Skeena River this year to do some salmon fishing driving an older motor home. All of a sudden this bike comes tearing up behind him and passes him on a double solid hairpin turn, getting back into his lane just in time. So the bike keeps ripping down the highway and goes to pass another car on the same type of turn. The driver of the motor home turns that corner just in time to see the head of the biker roll one way and his body the other. The passenger on the bike was barely alive when he left.
I've kinda wanted to get a bike but after hearing that story...not for me. Bike riders are called organ donors for a reason. If you ride a bike, good on ya but like o_f said, stay safe. Those things are so damn dangerous.
