I drive my Honda Fit in sport mode and use the paddle shifters. Like pretty much all the time. And I doesnt afraid of anything.
 
I really hope NOTHING cause I don't want to be a bad ass or be perceived as one?

Agreed with Sixone on the gambling advice.

Same as Racing, if you can't push your car off the cliff....don't race.

Saturday morning..
Bicyclist heads out and pushes his body to the limits. Sweaty, tired, legs aching, chest ready to explode, refuels with powerbars and gatorade on the go... Now that's living.

Motorcyclist heads out, beer belly and all, with a bandana and a vest on. Sits his fat sweaty ass on his custom leather seat and cruises the strip revving his bike to get as much attention as possible. The most grueling thing he does is stopping at the diner and gorging at the buffet.

Not even a question to which of the two is manlier.

Hispsters on fixed gears discredit your entire argument.

This is like comparing and NFL linebacker to a Systems Administrator.

That's a knee dragging corner. Go to a track day man and learn how to ride right. You'll learn more in a weekend than you've learned over your combined years of riding. Seriously.

You'll notice that I'm wearing jeans... Not exactly knee draggin' gear.

Contrary to popular belief, not everyone rides a motorcycle like they're at the track all the time.

I wasn't pushing it. Just having fun.

I paid off my mortgage early and now have 90% of my pay going directly into savings and investments. Feels good to have zero debt and be able to buy pretty much whatever whenever.
 
last year I got EMT level medical training because once I saw some get in a minor motorcycle accident and end up on the pavement. I ran up to help and then realized I had no idea what to do and stood there like an idiot.

Today I went to a burrito place nearby. I sat facing the sidewalk and was playing on my phone when I heard a thud. Some 80 year old lady was face down screaming in agony. I ran up and did my whole EMT routine and got someone to call 911 just in case, and to cover my own ass because I'd be handing off 'my' patient to someone better trained than I (I'm in a big city so it isn't a big deal to call 911, they show up in a minute or two).

Then I sat back down and finished my burrito. The funny thing was every other bystander (there were many, it was a crowded street) had that blank dumbass stare on their face like I did with the motorcycle accident.

I also ski down volcanoes.
 
I did about 4 seasons of doing this.
