And some folks think I'm wrong because I would rather get a car designed in the 80s or 90s with a smaller footprint, yet roomier than some modern designs.
Not to speak for him, but think he's saying a similar thing. Inherently dangerous would be like a top helicopter blade that if you stood up it would decapitate you or anyone around you. Inherently dangerous is not a motorcycle old or new.
Basically you shouldn't live your life looking for the most safe car as it's really not statistically much better than the worst.

Sooner or later we are all going to die one way or another. While I don't seek it, I'm not afraid of it. Nor am I going to try and control how it happens.

That saying please don't smoke. It took both my fathers and that's no way to go.
