First off all please take this article with a grain of salt. Which means know that I am fully aware of the dangers of motorcycle riding and how a small bump
which might slightly dent a car can put a motorcycle rider in hospital. But speaking from personal experience I regret not getting a motorcycle license sooner.
I am assuming most first car/bike owners are in their teens to mid twenties. This whole article wont work for most older ages for obvious reasons.
Practicality
First and foremost practicality , Bikes require zero to no parking space , most new bikes are pretty reliable, and are much easier to maintain
I daily drive a ‘77 Bug but more and more I feel like its a waste. As its always empty , I rarely carry passengers and most journeys are me, myself and I.
Going back to the parking point , I can only seethe in loathing at bikers who pull into a parking space and even leave before I am done parallel parking my car.
Gas Mileage.
This is a biggie , it is a well known fact that bikes get crazy gas mileage, so as student on a feeble and scarce budget its perfect. My bug uses around 25 liters
petrol a week , and if I didn’t get gas money from my parents trying not to sound like a spoiled brat I probably wont be driving this. Traffic cuts down mileage like
Deadpool cuts down bad guys sorry just watched the movie and bikes don’t have wait in traffic they can just zoom through it.
Safety
With bikes this is always a touchy subject, I know from personal experience that bikers are one of the safest people on the road. you do get on or two hooligans who
go around doing public burnouts and wheelies who bring a bad name for all bikers. But most car crashes are caused by young people driving too fast and not being able to stop in time.
In cars you do get this sense of invincibility (I’m guilty , I know you are too). In bikes its the complete opposite you are exposed to the elements
and not able to do anything else except focus on the road ahead.
Price and Beauty
Most bikes are fairly cheap and also more reliable as they are more modern to the car you can buy with a similar amount of money.Lets face it , most First cars are pretty dull (unless you go for a classic). But even the most low powered 250cc bikes look insanely aesthetic and eye-catching.
Comments
For the price you can buy a 2015 Renault logan you can buy a brand new Kawasaki Z1000
Or just a bicycle
Only downside is that driving a bike in the winter is sometging that crazy people do and I am crazy but also I want to live.
I had my first dirt bike when i was 11(a 50cc 2 stroke no gears) and now that I’m 18 i can’t wait to have a dirt bike again as first legal vehicle. I’m thinking in a Yamaha DT125 and make it a bike project. I’ll be riding another bike (90cc)while i work in the other
Great article! If only everyone thought like you. The world would be a safer place if everyone rode a bike. Sadly, this is not the case and we have to share the roads with them.
Awesome.
But a motorcycle isn’t a car…
it’s obvious why people like bikes
Bikes a pretty nice
But
Beetle for life
