Are motors really that cool?? i guess maybe it is, if not there will not be any 'cool' modifed Hondas, Suzukis etc.. but though there are advantages of riding a bike, i can say very certainly that the disadvantages outweigh the pros..
Advantages
1. Yeah! I agree you look cool. esp, with your girl sitting at the back in mini-skirt
2. Its relatively cheaper than car
~ cheaper COE
~ the vehicle consume less petrol
~ the bike itself is cheaper.. ( just a few grands right? )
~ Parking is cheaper, sometimes even free!
~ low maintenance? ( is there servicing for bikes? )
3. It transport you around ( quickly? ) due to speed?
4. Can easily avoid traffic jams
Disadvantages
1. Its very DANGEROUS,( just look at the statistic! how many people died in an accident when riding? You may argue that it may not be you but who can predict the future? almost every bikers get involved in at least 1 accident during the course )
2. Rain! gotta find the nearest shelter, stop and wear your rain coat cos bikes don't keep you from rain! )
3. High chances of running late ( when it rains and u can't continue riding cos you dun have your rain coat )
4. DANGEROUS! your enemies can get u easily just by cutting that brake chain. You will be dead, if you are lucky just injured
5. Due to the dangerous nature of riding, family members may not agree in the end might strain relationships
6. Possibility of being obsessed with modifying the vehicle ( in the end will spend more money! small amounts add to a large sum )
7. Bike can only take you and another person, what about Mummy? Sis? ( Isn't this considered an inconvenience )
8. Possiblity of strained relationship with GF ( don't ever be caught sending a female friend home with your bike! )
9. You'll miss the times when your girl wears a mini-skirt!
10. Bike is unsuitable to take you to a formal event ( Imagine blazer and bike, gown and bike--> what a turn off! )
11. Guys cant gel hair already = bad hair days
12. High tendencis of skin cancer due to long exposure to sun ( anyway guys don't apply sunblock to protect themselves )
13. More strained necks due to the heavy helmet
14. Pimples caused by dirty helmets ( you can't avoid this cos you perspire which can't be helped )
15. You have to carry the heavy helmet all around adding load and inconvenience when shopping etc
16. Sleepy-heads = EVEN MORE DANGEROUS!
As you can tell, i hate bike! i hate bike cos i can't wear my favourite mini again. I hate bike cos it left a mark on my ankle that i will never forget. i hate bike cos my hair will be messed up. i hate it for the inconvenience ( esp for girls during that-time-of-the-month ) and all other inconveniences too..
Say you wanna save money so want to go get a bike licence and ride a bike instead of a car. However, getting a bike licence also requires money. Save money? Buying a bike also requires money. Save money? Monthly installments? Save money? Weekly petrol cost? Save money? If this is the case, isn't taking public transport cheaper, safer? Have i ever said that i detest public transport? To you, do i appear to be material girl? I am not eyeing your car! Can't you see that i am having your safety at heart?
You need my support, i can support you.. but i can't afford to lose you! DOZE OFF and i'll have to visit you at hospital already, i don't want that! Argue that car is also as dangerous, but bike has nothing to protect you! you'll get the greatest impact.. Still in a dilenma? Isn't the choice obvious?
For those who are considering bikes rather than cars, please consider the views of a girl who's only concern of your well-being.. If you really care for those around you, don't make them worry about your safety every moment..
LIFE IS FULL OF PROBLEMS
There are loads of problems happening around me.. but i am unsure what exactly is the problem... friendship problems, relationship problems, academic problem.. Whatever the problem you are having, try to look at the bright side of the picture.. If i can be of any help, i will be most willing to contribute...
To Michelle and Elaine, don't let minor things strain the relationship.. No matter what i believe each party have the interest of each other in heart, sometimes misunderstanding arises.. its normal though.. hope that there is no problem.. haha! one day let go eat SAKAE together!
