Looking to buy a car and a motorcycle

[Zoetstofzoetje]

bikers are better car drivers. same goes for truck drivers. we-they understand others´ road circumstances better.

people who are used to going from A to B in a padded cage with airbags and crumple zones feel a little too invincible.

mind you, my car accidents were all minor. bump in the bumper, that kind of stuff. and i hit the plastic bumper of a Porsche once while parking in London. expensive.

So why do you crash so much?

[Zoetstofzoetje]

crash? as i said, the worst i´ve ever had was a dinged bumper.

You said you'd been in two accidents. I've never so much as touched a motorcycle and I've also never been in a car accident.

3 in the last few years. I just found it odd you're claiming your group is a better driver of cars, yet admittedly you aren't that good at not hitting things with your car.

Shot at by Nazis and crashed into barbed wire. Motorcycles are deathtraps!

Life is dangerous and will kill you no matter what. Yeah, a bike is a bit more dangerous than a car, but if it's fun to drive it, go for it. If it's just as boring as driving a car, don't - not worth the risk.

I don't think you North American lot appreciate what driving (and especially parking) means in Europe. Have you ever parked a car with 10 cm to spare on the front and the back?

Awesome! There's a Zero supplier just down the road from me!

Seriously ****ing tempted!

I support your purchase of a Californian made motorcycle.

When I rented a car this last weekend, I got a Corolla.

I always thought they were boring cars for their cost and was never interested in them.

The car I rented was nice though, felt very comfortable. The best 'car I have never driven before' experience I have ever had (especially after not driving for 1 year).

I thought it might be too big too, but it was just right.

For North America. For Europe I would want something smaller, not a compact (c-segment) but a subcompact (b-segment or a-segment). Specifically because of parking/size of streets.

I would even consider a Smart Car (which I think is ugly and boring).

you have asphalt over there?

[Aeson]

In some places... mostly concrete, gravel, or dirt/mud roads though.

I'm European. You clearly drive like a spastic.

Seriously. If Europe is a country where getting in car accidents is expected and workers are too lazy to keep their jobs, then I'm ****ing glad I live in America.
