Should I get a motorcycle?

No. Our attorney wrecked his motor and damaged his spine horribly. Walking is an issue for him and he is in constant pain.

Only if you drive it at night on the ICC.

Seriously though visit a traumatic brain injury rehab b/f you decide. If doing bodily functions in bags intrigue you, then yes, go for it.

Shattered his leg during the class and may walk with a limp the rest of his life. Just happened a couple of weeks ago.

I seriously doubt this happened..

I can count on one hand the number of times I ever got into third gear during my basic riders course. Most of the time you're riding around at parking lot speeds. How one "shatters" their leg at bicycle or jogging speeds in beyond me, except that it's a pretty good induction of a bald faced lie.

Not necessarily a lie, but definitely very, very unlikely. If it happened it was a freak accident.

I taught myself to ride on a Rebel via trial and error and dropped it a couple times, once at probably 20mph and the worst I got were scrapes and bruises. (and a couple broken mirrors)

Don't. Send that money to the starving children in Africa.

Don't get one. People die in motorcycle accidents.
