I've personally known two people that have died in motorcycle accidents. These were dudes that were pretty safely oriented. Like wore all the gear all the time, rain or shine.

One of them took a spill and his bike pushed his femur through his hip and partly into his torso. He surprisingly lived through that accident. After he recovered he went back to riding as if nothing happened. He was fine for 7 years until he got involved in another accident and didn't get lucky a second time.

If you have people that even remotely depend on you please just think carefully if it's worth the risk. You're actually about 4000% more likely to die on a motorcycle per mile traveled compared to a regular car. I'm not making that number up.

There's a very good reason ER docs call them "donorcycles"

Please tell me you're not still riding one of those death machines.

His social credit rating was probably too low from playing MMOs.

Lol that face. It's like he was pulled out of a restaurant in the middle of a succulent Chinese meal.

I saw a dog at a Korean barbeque restaurant.

There's reading the lyrics and knowing the lyrics with all the intonations and timing. This is especially true with rap lyrics where if you're just reading it, it just sounds bad.

If you know the actual lyrics then Baby Got Back by Sir Mixalot
