I cringe when these kids cut me off going much much faster then any of the cars. I also hear them racing on the Prospect Expressway late at night. If you are one of these guys--please!! I used to work in an ER, dying would be the best outcome you could hope for in a motorcycle vs. car accident on a highway!

oh man, yeah. I went to a BBQ a few years ago in bed stuy - I don't really remember where cause it was before I moved to brooklyn, but I know I took the A there and everyone said I was in bed stuy. in any case, when I left and was walking back to the A train, I saw a motorcycle accident and the motorcyclist's helmet had flown off. his head was ... pulp. I have always been hesitant to consider riding on motorcycles and scooters, but that incident has stuck in my head. oh, a car had run a red light and hit the motorcycle, leading to the accident. so it wasn't necessarily that the motorcycle driver was a bad driver - he just had totally crap luck.
