Why Are Black Bikers More Likely to Die in Crashes than Whites?

Right above the center console, too.

I think that's why they always seem to change lanes real slowly....they can't see shit. Starting from like 50 yards behind you, they move their steering wheel one milimeter.....taking 30 seconds to move into the next lane, yet almost clipping your rear bumper in the process.........I call it "the molasses draft"..............

It's also really hard to see your mirrors when they're shaking from the ridiculously loud subwoofers in the trunk that rattles so bad you hear it before the stereo.

It's the inadequate health insurance.

Down here it's the 12 inch stretch, lowering kit, single front brake rotor and the 300 section tire. It's hard to not hit something solid when you're doing 100+ everywhere and your bike won't turn or stop.

I'd be curious to see what the Mexican and Puerto Rican stat is on the same thing. I see more of them exploded down here than blacks by a long ways...

Since this is dissolving into this racial shit, here's the bottom line: Life is about choices. If you can afford to buy the stuff 101 referenced above or have the hottest shoes, etc and choose to do that instead of insurance, so be it. But don't blame not having insurance on working at Wal Mart. I do affiliate marketing for health insurance.. It doesn't cost much for people under 30, practically anyone could afford it (in most states).

Edit: and obviously black guys don't need white ancestors' lessons to start gangs, sell drugs and constantly fight/shoot each other. Why can't they learn positive things instead? It's not like there are many white role models for that nonsensical thug bullshit.

Dissolving?...this thread was started with this premise in mind...it doesn't matter but where were you when racist comments about how we drive were slung? I guess its only "racist bullshit" when its against your people....
