Motorcycles kill more people than store owners with guns. They must be outlawed.

Wow...that's why they're called "donor cycles" by people in the medical profession.

I saw a dude on 820 this afternoon doing a wheelie at about 80mph. It was awesome.

He was on a Harley.

Be sure to keep count of people killed by botched surgeries (23,000 annually) hospital infections (19,000 annually) and repeat felony offenders freed by the machinations of clever defense attorneys ( 8,428 annually). Be fair or be quiet.

8:31, You forgot to mention the deaths caused by drunk illegal aliens.

And don't forget the number of fatalities in automobiles.

Also, to make it a meaningful count and not just a rant about "Ninja" bikes, the type of bike, whether or not the rider was wearing a helmet (and type of helmet), whether or not the rider was wearing any protective gear, if the rider was actually licensed and had attended a motorcycle safety foundation course.

Many of the motorcycle fatalities lately are natural selection at work. Unhelmeted, untrained, unlicensed, unprotected riders doing stupid things.

I nearly fell off my crotch-rocket the other day when I saw a Harley rider with a full-face helmet!! Normally, their do-rag protects their head.

Murdercycles must be sponsored by funeral homes.
