Something like that should be required by the insurance company when purchasing Mc insurance.
I know allot of us feel we are pros, can handle anything...gonna ride into the wind. I can totally appreciate the rush. But I would wager a large amount that every one of the Mc riders on this post have all had a close call.
Just saying..
"Just saying" it's all about choice to live (or die) by our own decision and NOT about living according to someone else's mandate on HOW we should live. Some folks climb mountains. I wouldn't, but that is their choice.
Perhaps insurance companies should be required to show a prospective customer films of black lungs of dead smokers, heart damage to the obese, or knee replacement surgery to an athlete. Maybe bicycling should be banned in the Villages, due to all the accidents. And would you "wager" that everyone that rode a bicycle as a child have all had close calls? I've had no injuries on a motorcycle, but my close calls were ALL due to poor drivers of cars. I've had many injuries as a child when riding a bicycle.
