I am watching as the newer e-scooters are being ridden by peeps who love to reach some fast top speeds and who equally love to zoom by stop signs and red lights. In our little town, there are enough car and truck drivers who go through stop signs under the impression that these are not made for them. More so at night. It is at sundown and night when younger and wanting to go fast e-scooter owners are zipping by without a care in the world. I am predicting a population pruning due to that combination.

I'm so upset at the amount of time threads I could just put a razor scooter to your shin.

We call scooter and motorcycle riders Organ Donors here.

I was driving home one night, saw a bunch of lights up ahead.
Guy crashed his motorcycle and his head was splattered everywhere.
edit: it looked like it just happened and they just got on scene. horrible absolutely horrible.

shit stuck with me, horrible feeling.
everytime I see someone without a helmet, riding a motorcycle I shake my head.

In PA people can ride without a helmet, fools imho.

Yeah they can be pretty brutal. I also cringe when you'll see a dude in a leather jacket, boots and a full helmet. But the girl sitting on the back is in shorts, tank and a pair of flip flops.

All I can think is, "Babe, he does not love you."

Hah! Scary. Yet, true on so many levels. Though it is luck and not skill that my one and only wipe-out was in a cornfield and not under a car/truck. I entered a very tight exit far too fast and went into a cornfield. Just some cosmetic scratches on the motorcycle and I was laughed at by a very large racoon that was eating corn at the time I wiped out.

Look at the bright side. FREE CORN!

So true! Positivity and fresh corn are two of the keys to a healthy life.
