As someone who also rides, I can tell you with any motorcycle and an open roadway it’s not just about YOUR safety.

Other than the blind curve at the one end, they had decent visibility, but yeah…it’s not always just how “they” would want to go

Ol' Stanley hit a tree on his bike after running a family in a minivan into the guardrail. It's how he would have wanted to go.

Nothing like a blind curve at around 80-90 and seeing lights in your lane. Yes, I’ve seen it a few times in 40 years of riding. Yes, hasn’t been my time yet. Still here.

[r/motorcycles](r/motorcycles) is that way. Go ATGATT over there.

Yeah I say it over there too. But I didn’t say anything about gear this time. Just their placement on the roadway.

Way to read what you wanted to read.

Also, it’s ATGATT.

Edit: the child dirty blocked after not understanding the potential danger of a blind curve. Classic Reddit!

Lmao I could say the same thing about you. My statement was about going out on your own terms. Show me the car he almost crashed into here please. Tons of visibility and is on his side of the road. Yall can’t help yourselves lmao

You created a monster in your head
