I don't see why folks ride motorcycles in cities or even suburban areas. I understand the gas savings and all, but there are too many idiots driving to make it worth the risk. Having visited the Blue Ridge Parkway last fall, I can see how great it would be to do a leisure ride on such a road. There were a handful of biker groups in the area, including one larger group of both male and female riders speaking French from Quebec. I even think the Can-Am three wheelers would be cool for those not comfortable on two wheels. However, outside scenic, two lane, or sparely traveled roads, I couldn't deal with the danger.
