Default WHY? Just... WHY?

JESUS CHRIST ALREADY!

Why does every bluehair that works in this building feel the need to tell me every detail of every motorcycle crash that has happened in the past 10 years?

It's like "yeah.. thanks for your concern" or "Jees, that's too bad"

This a.m. this old lady that works 2 floors above me was detailing yet another MC fatality from 8 YEARS AGO...

I finally looked at her & said "Well, at least he went doing what he loved... I should be so lucky?"

I hate it when people do that. It's not going to keep me from riding, that is for sure.

They are called Reapers.

Point a bony finger at you from under their cape and hiss "You're gonna die on that thing.........."

The ones that make me laugh are people who you've never met, have no idea who they are, that come up randomly in a parking lot to tell you of your impending doom.

Just say "hey, wanna take a ride?"

I hear yah brotha! I get the same thing from people that never ridden before! I just send them pics of car crashes. Most of them think that ALL motorcylist are irresponsible and are out there just haulin A$$ aimlessly reaking havoc! They mean well but get to be annoying at times! Some of them are just trying to convince you to lose your bike because they never had the ***** to experience it for themselves. Hang in there!
