Dont do it.

There are RISKS. make sure you know all of them before you attempt to hop on a bike.

Make sure you have ACCEPTED the risks before you attempt to ride the bike.

You could get serious hurt or die more readily than a car. Can you accept that? can your family?

I wouldnt have it any other way. I wont buy a car for the next 5-10 years.

I sure as hell wouldnt want to drive anything with 4 wheels for the next 5-10 years anyway.

Except for the fact that you don't have the money for it, uhh, why?

Its Florida which means its fucking sweltering hot most of the year, rains like a sonuvabitch, and well, lets face it, if you've ever got to haul any cargo or take a long distance trip, a Busa just don't cut it.

This is a simple one:
I do have the money for it.

I fucking hate cars with a passion.

I feel safer on a motorcycle than I do in a car any day.

Anything I need to haul can go in a tank bag, backpack, hump, or it doesnt need to go

unless something catastrophic happens like..idk...my legs get amputated, I wont drive a car for a long long time.

What's up with the hatred of cars? I understand loving bikes, but I don't think I have ever heard anyone say they absolutely hate cars before! What did a car ever do to you!?!
