Motorcyclists Don't Bite

First of all, you'll notice you still have your hand. That's right, motorcyclists don't bite. Most of us are friendly folks, very few fit the 'outlaw biker' stereotype. In fact, I'd like to answer some questions and clear up some misconceptions that you may have about motorcyclists.
Why do some motorcyclists wear leather?
Well, besides looking good, leather holds up a lot better than my skin would if I fell off at 55 mph. Leather chaps/pants, gloves and jacket offer good protection from the wind, rain, sand or...a possible fall.
What do you do if it rains?
The laws of physics apply to motorcyclists too. If it rains, we get wet! If we're on the road and get caught in the rain, most of us carry rain suits to wear. We may ride a little more cautiously or may stop until it passes, but as a rule, we don't choose to go riding in torrential down pours.
Aren't you afraid of falling?
The thought occasionally enters our minds, but for the most part, no! On a properly maintained motorcycle, a responsible rider is quite safe. The Motorcycle Safety Foundation offers courses to make motorcyclists better, safer riders. If you ever decide to ride, I'd encourage you to take the course.
