Mathematically they’re equivalent, but the feelings could not be further apart.

    Something about the phrase “living to the fullest” doesn’t allude to sensible motorcycle safety precautions.

      There is an entire sub culture of motorcyclists that agree, I do not however condone riding without appropriate gear.

        I agree with that as well. I ride a cruiser and I wear a full face helmet, jacket, boots or shoes covering the ankles, and at least thick denim pants. Sometimes I think about getting a 3/4 helmet but I don’t think I could bring myself to do it.

        When I was real hardcore riding everyday I wore waterproof jacket, pants, and boots. Now I just don’t ride in the rain at all if I can help it.
