Sidecar for the vaping win!
I have really WANTED a motorcycle ever since I was a teen. I was an avid biker though (bicycles) and had enough high speed crashes to convince me that I DID not want to experience my first motorcycle crash, no thanks, no no no. In AZ, there are no motorcycle helmet laws (or bicycle laws) and I get that during the summer one would fry one's brains out but we do have a lot of "dual older residents" and I sometimes wonder if "Organ Donor" is the second rationale.... Being a motorcyclist in Tucson is an almost suicidal endeavor.
I did once manage to cut off a motorcycle *cop* (so he said, that wasn't my opinion
) and he gave me a ticket, in between lecturing me that he was "about to retire and didn't want to die." Since we were both traveling at approximately 3 miles per hour AND I could see I was *not* getting out of the ticket, this reply escaped my lips, "Well, if you're about to retire, I suggest getting a helmet."
To be fair to the cop, he didn't increase my ticket, but I didn't bother going to court to fight it either
.
Now that the kiddo has grown, I've considered a motorcycle a time or two, but then I think about all the variables and since I'm vaping, maybe JUST returning to biking in some of the safer areas might be wisest. I don't want to shorten my lifespan now when I *just* quit vaping.
