I always appreciate their videos, as someone who knows nothing about bikes
Don’t buy motorbikes. It is only a matter of time that you will fall from it or hit something. Unlike a car, the crumple zone on a bike IS YOU. I’ve seen enough mangled dead bikers in the hospital morgue to put me off ever owning one. Bikers lose to everything, even a small rock or some oil on the road. Don’t do it.
Life is about maganging risk. If you are that risk adverse, more power to you. I know I will die regardless so i will enjoy my weekend bike and camping trips with friends. Beats sitting inside on the computer just wasting my life away. However, i do manage the risk with good gear, training and maintance.

I entirely agree. I would personally never consider owning a road motorcycle myself, but I find FortNine’s content compelling nonetheless, going above and beyond cinematically and…oddly philosophically. I think a lot of his viewers aren’t actually bikers themselves.
But yes, at least for me, motorcycles are not worth the risk!
Couple of cheeky adages I’ve heard about bikers.
There are two types of bikers: those who’ve crashed and those who haven’t crashed yet.
Doctors have a term for bikers, and that term is “donors.”
In all seriousness, if you want to drive a motorcycle, I won’t stand in your way.
As much as I would love one, you are spot on. It’s just not worth it. Get an e-bike and enjoy safe, beautiful bike trails and avoid the vehicles all together. Way cheaper and more beautiful imo. Get anywhere from a little to a lot of exercise as well!
