People die. This is a fact of life & living. Bikers are people who understand this fact and decide to love life doing what they love. Honestly, if you're not a biker, its hard to understand. That said, bikers also respect the rules of engagement around what they enjoy doing. ATGATT, no riding under the influence, no distractions, etc etc.
What is funny about Nigerians though, is that they'd rather ride practically naked on an "okada" at 80kmph than go on a superbike at same speed fully kitted.
That one never fails to beat my imagination.
To the fallen rider, ride on till eternity.
To riders still here, rubber side down always.

I just witnessed a young man die this morning on a bike.

Is it riskier than driving cars

very good, those guys too like to dey form james bond anytime they r driving

And to us aspiring riders?

prettyboi1989:

are u sure about that? why do some formular one cars skip their tracks and crash into the barricade? another one, why do cars flip on high speed when driving through a bend and crash into a ditch? or explain what could have killed the fast n furious guy other than speed.

Dear Sir,
Google the following: satire, sarcasm, irony

Thank you sir

EgunMogaji:


Nigerians are liable to die young in Nigeria.

I bet you more NYSC folks have died on the roads than bikers.

How about street hawkers on Nigerian roads?

You are right bro. But we have more corpers on the road than bikers.

Street hawking is a sucide mision on its own coupled with the Nigeria drivers mentality.

Zenithpeak:
Power bikers are liable to die young........ Especially on Nigerian roads.

You are right but they die young on American roads too. The problem with Sportbike is that nothing protects you in case of an accident. Your whole body is open to the roads and oncoming vehicles and other elements on the road.

dokiOloye:
They are trained on how to fall and get minimum or no injuries,just like in basketball.
Funny enuf,d more U try to resist d fall,d more injuries.

Motogp and SBK riders have airbags that deploy in their suit when it senses that the rider is falling. The cushion is around the shoulders and chest.

The pros still die too..a guy called Simoncelli had his helmet ripped of by the tyre of another bike..with all the straps ti..you can imagine the force also i saw a japanese rider fall and another rider at full speed rode over his ribcage..so fast that the rioder could balance back and not fall..i knew he wouldn't survive he didnt.

The guy that said a back seatbelt cant save u is so wrong.

miketayo:


how ll u knw if I ride or not.

had an R6 and a ktm duke 390

It's an educated guess based on your comments.

You've never rode an R6.

o42austino:
bikes do come with 650cc so their is every possible that his bike is 1650cc

I never said it wasn't possible.

Trust me I've seen bikes with 5,700cc

Have always loved power bike but the fear of dropping dead is the beggining of wisdom! Can you teach(mentor) someone?

I don't have a bike in naija yet.

But I always encourage people to pursue their love albeit with care.

Let me know what questions I can answer here or on WhatsApp.

You can settle this with one or two videos of you rolling on an R6 and a Duke.

I still maintain that you're not a rider, maybe your Cousin with a Kawi is, but not you.

miccollo47:

Sure! You can spot the bike.

Shagati:

Upon all this 'suicideness' we are talking about, you have now included heat in the equation?
Not fair

I'll rather be hot and sweaty but arrive alive.

I wear singlet, dress shirt, and leather jacket in sometimes 110 degree weather. It's the price of responsibility.

Wicking t-shirt, pants and balaclava

Next question?

Hey, come to think of it, in Nigeria we have driving school for Cars but none for bikes, why is that?
