And children, dogs, birds, metal plaques...
So many things out of your control, so just assume the worst, all the time if you want to survive.
Motorbikes are just dangerous, that's it.
Another thing I'd add: say no to ridding under the rain.
Don't buy a better suit, better tires, adapt your schedule and run slowly.
Just don't use it.
There is nothing in the world you can do that will make it much safer. It's a death trap. Bite the bullet, and use something else.
But who am I kidding, young me would have read that comment, say "mehhh", and just ride the storm anyway :)
