Very interesting stuff Joey, but you will get hit one day as long as you keep riding in that manner. Bravado will go out the window when your friends and loved ones have to go through emotional trauma after the accident and through your recovery period. You are putting yourself in the position of being a burden on someone else, and there's nothing "cool" about that...
