When I was little I was really scared of cars and motorcycles. I couldn\’t even imagine someone in my family bringing a motorcycle into the house. I don\’t know why I was afraid of motorcycles, but according to my mother, I was very afraid of noise as a child. She said that some people are like that. But later, when I grew up and my brother decided to buy a motorcycle, I was quite shocked. I was about 11 or 12 at the time, and I still had a lot of respect for motorcycles. I don\’t know why, but some people are like arachnophobic or catophobic or dogophobic.
And I guess I\’m not directly afraid of motorcycles, just the noise. But I\’m simply afraid of the noise. And I always cringe when I see, for example, various motorcycle and car accidents on TV. I once convinced my brother to buy a more practical car. Which do you prefer? A car or a motorcycle? I think most people would opt for a car that is more practical and allows them to use their car all year round. Whether it\’s cold or freezing, the sun is shining or blowing, a car can always be driven.
For example, we are told not to speed on a motorcycle below 20 degrees. Also, when you own a motorcycle, do you ensure that you wear protective equipment? Of course I have to wear a motorcycle helmet. I only have an electric bike, and it\’s not that loud, but I still take a helmet with me on my electric bike. I also have knee pads. I take care of my health and my life, so I don\’t want to take any risks. If I get hit by a car or motorcycle on my e-bike, at least I\’m protected.
