Safety matters, but having lived matters even more.
As Hunter S Thomas said: “Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside in a cloud of smoke, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming "Wow! What a Ride!””
Life should be whatever you want it to be. You want to chill the fuck out? You do you. Life, however, should not be full of regrets. Which largely stem from not allowong yourself to do what you want, whether it be from fear, pressure by other people, or certain expecations.
Quotes tend to be nice motivational forces but end up being very simplistic in a world that could not be more complex.
Fuck yeah!
Amen brother
Yeah but what right do you have to push that onto someone who can't consent? Sure, let's let my baby smoke weed and sit on my shoulders while I ride roller coasters, cause if he dies at least he had fun!
Quote would mean more if he didn't kill himself.
At least jump out of a plane with no parachute, Hunter.
having lived matters even more.
Yeah, this photo is fake, but when I see boomer comments on other sites on photos all I can think is "survivor bias"
Why do you say this photo is fake? My dad used to take me for rides just like this. One of his favorite stories to tell is about having to toss me off as it was going to fall over, and how I was having a blast, but my mother was not nearly so excited. I was around two at the time.
Yawn.
Safety Nazi.
This is just what life was like back then. People were wild, and free, and stupid, and happy.
And racist, and coughing a lot,
Edit: I don’t think my kids ever even had a lung oyster
Some people are still racist
The man pictured here is only 23 years old.
Who do you think took the picture?
Your friends who wanted to go motorcycling the day your wife was out of town.
I've heard this one. It was the wife's heart!
This is me and my dad. It isn’t, but it is.
My dad took both me and my brother (at the same time) for rides like this
Mostly I just remember the burns on my legs from the engine.
And then the motorcycle being broken and never getting fixed. I suspect my mom sabotaged it.
Dont take ur infants on motorcycle rides tho.
You're not my wife!
Maybe I am 👀
Good thing that's not an infant then!
Yeah, toddlers are people too!
I can't see the kid's face clearly enough to tell if they're having the time of their lives or if they're absolutely terrified.
Yes.
To be fair, Safety Third makes a lot of sense.
Anyway, I think this looks super fun. :)
It's on the stand...
It’s not the stand. It’s the foot peg and the shift pedal.
I think that's those drainage tubes. Forget what they're called tho.
Nah that's just the foot peg on the left side, along with the rear brake pedal protruding to the front. Riders left for is held out for balance behind the front wheel.
100%
It isn't on the stand but I think it's a reasonable and value comment, to raise the question. People shouldn't downvote you.
Nah, this was super common when I was growing up. We all used to commute by motorcycle, even though we had a family car. We did wear helmets. I know it's still common all over the world. I'm laughing now, cause my mother was super protective when I was inside the house, but of course riding on a motorcycle with a cheap plastic helmet was no worry for her. We thankfully never had an accident.
The most I’ve seen was family of 7 on a motorbike in Cambodia. The pots and pans and plastic I’ve seen people wear in Saigon was always pretty nuts. With the big difference being they’re typically not going very fast.
That's nothing, add a sidecar and you can get those numbers up! In the Philippines, it's common to get three behind the driver, 2-3 inside the sidecar, 2-3 on top of the sidecar, and 1-2 hanging on to the side of the sidecar, with maybe 1-2 behind the sidecar:
