My point is obvious. Small incidents are more problematic for riders than drivers. I dont' know how anyone could fail to see that. Why do you think chances of fatal injuries increase if you're thrown from your car ? Kinda happens easier on a bike, no ?

I would not mind doing it at all, BUT the only thing I would have to request is a history of the person.

If they drink, smoke, eat mcdonalds, etc... and caused their cancer and/or problem then heck no.
Now if it was someone that lived a healthy life and/or was a young kid then yea I would have no problem helping them.

That's rich. Don't you ride a motorcycle which is inherently less safe than a car? Well, if you got splatted on the pavement and needed a kidney transplant... I hope they ask how you got injured. You take risks in your life too.


yea i ride motorcycles, but I also wear a helmet, have insurance, maintain my bike, etc... But riding a bike is no more dangerious then driving a car, and I have been in a motorcycle accidnet.
I also believe that if a motorcycle person does not wear a helmet, have insurance, etc.. and gets in a accident then they should NOT have extra help either.

Same as I would not give blood, kidney, etc... to a drunk driver, juts as I would not give marrow to a smoker, drinker, mcdonalds eater, etc...

And smoking, drinking, eating junk food, is NOT a risk, it is just dumb. There are NO gains from it.
While riding a bike I save money on gas, less crap coming out my tail pipe then a SUV/car, lower insurance, etc...

A Motorcycle is more dangerous. Look at the fatality rates of Motorcycles compared to Autmobiles. Rationalize all you want, but you engage in behavior that is riskier than the norm, much as people that abuse their bodies do the same. The question is do we give medical care to those who can afford it? If someone smokes, drinks, eats buckets of lard and can afford the top medical care, then they should have it. That's how capitalism works.


Yea but lets REALLY look at those deaths. How may were the faults of the driver of the bike VS the driver of the car.

A motorcycle does not add anything to MY safety, BUT drinking, smoking, eating mcdonalds, etc... does. And if someone wants to pay me for my marrow or rare blood, then thats fine. BUT I will choose NOT to give it to people that CHOOSE to do things that put them at their own risk, like drinking, smoking, eating mcdonalds, etc...

YES, but that is NOT the motorcyle riders fault, BUT eating drinking, smoking, eating mcdonalds, etc... is the fault of the sick and I will not support THEIR mistakes. Riding a bike is NOT a mistake, just as driving a car is NOT a mistake.

I'm not arguing that at all.

They made it look quick and painless on "E.R."... and usually they are straight up with the medical facts (not physical acts though) on that show. They numbed the patient (was the chick from Coyote Ugly) and stuck a needle in. She was able to go out the same night, though it was tough to walk. They mentioned there would be soreness for at least 1.5 weeks and that was it. I'd at least imagine the numbing and soreness to be true.

EDIT>> She was awake during the process.

Is that the one where Carter did it, and the gown thing fell off her butt? Dr. DelAmico or something?
Good memory. Nice visual. ;)

They started over on TNT... back to season 1 again now... 10am-12pm daily. This ep was like season 3 or 4. ER went downhill after season 5. :(

it isn't hard to remember an ass like that :):evil:
