I ride my RGS almost everyday. I moved here from the Ocala Forest where the riding is awesome.
It's probably my greatest joy in life at this point.
It may kill my ass one day but, I want to live and not necessarily live long.

Interesting philosophy. One problem is that when hit on a motorcycle, people don't always die instantaneously. Many more get brain damage and/or become vegetables that outlive their ability to pay for an assisted living facility. They become a financial DRAIN on their family or eventually the greater society. And they may NOT be able to even remember their motorcycle DREAMS.
Obviously, a similar situation could happen when riding in a car or truck. The difference is a car or truck does NOT require the balance capability of a young person. And are more easily seen than a motorcycle. Also, a car has real steel surrounding the occupants.
Some people may NOT mind leaving this earth sooner than needed, but what about those other people in their lives that feel they wanted to be around them for a few more years? What about the person on the back of the motorcycle that was not so philosophic about an early death?
