Failure in this case ranges from life-altering disabilities or death outright. The emotional toll on your friends and family. The waste of medical resources on you.
Yeah, people should have a healthy amount of fear for needlessly dangerous things.
?? There’s nothing unethical about riding a motorcycle.
I ride within 80% of my abilities. I wear full PPE all year round. My moto is maintained to a high standard. I drive defensively. I have taken safety courses, and continued my motorcycle safety training both in and out of the classroom. I am not careless about my life or the lives of others. I drive like everyone is out to kill me, and I’m a gentleman. Want to pass, go ahead.
Morally— I’m not needlessly risking my life or the lives of others. If it becomes necessary, god forbid, that I need life saving medical care, I trust I’m worthy of it, if, for no other reason than I take great care when I’m driving any motorized vehicle.
