Introduction
To all Riders, Before we start.
Let us ask you all a Question: In an accident Who is the Real problem,? Is it Motorcycle or Rider?
Think over it, in the meanwhile let us take up this secret topic;
Have you heard this phrase; “Don’t ride a bike, it can kill you … for sure”.
What did you feel when you read this statement? Chill through your spine? Goosebumps? Or uhhhh?
We like to explore the strange safety-related issue in this short blog.
Yesterday we came across a Reddit account (the name showed *deleted* near the submitted tag), and the term “Donorcycle” caught our curiosity. An intriguing fact about the term is, it’s been used by medical personnel (mostly in the USA and Europe) despite people finding it stupid.
Yet this “Donorcycle” term has something which we must explore, ‘Psychcle’ style.
A brilliant entity by the name of ‘common sense emerges from your shadow and would ask.
“Why ‘donor’?” Well, Urbandictionary.com
A brilliant entity by the name of ‘common sense emerges from your shadow and would ask, “Why ‘donor’?” Well, Urbandictionary.com describes the term as “Any grossly overpowered motorcycle, considered likely to land an inexperienced rider’s organs in someone else’s body. (emergency-room slang for “the motorcycle crashed by the patient now on the table.”)
When you die like this, only the way you can redeem yourself is through donating the body’s organs. Right?
Let me urge your psyche a little bit and ask you – when you drive recklessly, does ‘death’ come to your mind? Or the does
the notion of the ‘thrill seeking’ cloud.
Donorcycle is best described as motorcycles being death by possible organ ‘donors’.
This is because it’s in the hand of the riders how they ride. If an amateur rider would ride a powerful liter bike without proper training, mishaps are always certain. To give you a simple answer to the question we had at the beginning of the blog.
The term “ Donorcycle” was derived from people who have lost their lives in motorbikes riding recklessly, have and become accidental erm with organ donors.
If we tie this term with the phrase that we had spoken about, the term shatters that myth as well.
The decision of risking his own life is of riders and ride the r’s only.
Our closing opinion to wrap it up:
If you explore the safety aspect, motorcycles can be considered as safe or as dangerous as any other
Vehicle plying on the road, it is up to Riders to make sure it remains a safe mode of transport for them and other people on the road. It’s wrong of us to presume, motorcycles are more dangerous than other Vehicles,
it’s how we as riders manage to make them seem dangerous.
We as a brand will do more to promote terms like “Donorcycle”, especially in our country (Unfortunately the accident capital of the world) where the rider puts himself and others around him in danger and later blames the motorcycle.
We suggest, instead of blaming the motorcycle, let’s educate and promote safe riding and rider safety.
Share your thoughts on reckless riding, I know you have a lot of them, if we get enough ideas to stop reckless riding,
we will start a campaign soon with goodies for the people with the best ideas, Stay tuned
