It's a little sad that we need to actually say this, but:

Don't be an asshole or you will be permanently banned.

Respectful debate is totally OK, criticizing a product is fine, but being verbally abusive will not be tolerated.

Focus on discussing the idea, not attacking the person.

Even with full gear, motorcycles are dangerous as fuck.

No, it's cars that are dangerous ,as they are to cycllists and pedestrians, speaking as somone who has ridden motorcycles for 40 years.

More than one thing can be dangerous, but yeah, vehicles like cars and trucks are more dangerous to pedestrians, riders, etc.

Motorcycles are dangerous too, but mostly just to the rider.
