Unfortunately, not everyone can ride a motorcycle or lives where the other motorists are friendly (or at least not-hostile) to motorcyclists. Many also consider it beyond their tolerance for risk.
I am really lucky to live where people are happy to accommodate motorcycles (cars make room for motorcycles to split lanes when we have slow moving traffic) and I use one to commute to work everyday. I do sincerely wish more people could share in the joy of riding a motorcycle :-)
However, I am aware that there are places where people are hostile to motorcycles. I just hope that some day things get better.
- louhike 10y agoThe noise of motorcycles is a problem when you live in cities. I'm afraid most city-dwellers would not be faborable of more motorcycle-friendly cities because of that.
- mattthebaker 10y agoNot all motorcycles are that loud, especially the smaller ones more suitable for getting around IN the city. In proper urban areas, scooters are more convenient anyway -- smaller, more maneuverable, automatic transmissions, and more storage.
- Arizhel 10y agoWhat's bad is that there's no reason for motorcycles to be loud, with current technology. Car engines these days are whisper-quiet; the exact same could be done with motorcycles. But most motorcyclists (in the US) insist on being obnoxiously loud. I'll bet Italian scooters aren't like this though.
