​Buy a Set of Fuel Wheels Instead

Spring is finally here. It is the time of year we awaken from our winter slumber and wander out into the sunlight searching for some sort of meaning in our lives.

Some of you will take your trucks out to the car wash to scrub off that layer of winter dirt and grime. Some of you will open your shed, pull out your motorcycle and prepare it for another riding season.

And there is no doubt at least a few of you out there who own a truck, but are seriously thinking about getting a motorcycle. We think that is a bad idea.

If you are going to spend that kind of money, you may as well visit BB Wheels and fill their pockets by purchasing a sweet set of Fuel wheels and a nice set of truck tires. You know, truck wheels and tires will change the whole look of your ride.

Buying a motorcycle just isn't a good idea, and here are a few reasons why.

You Will Die

OK, that might be a bit of an overstatement; but you do stand a good chance of getting hurt, seriously injured even.

Here are a few statistics that might make you think twice about owning a motorcycle. A motorcycle rider is 35 times more likely to die in a crash than a passenger or driver in a car. And even if you don’t die, you will sustain injuries far more serious than occupants of a car.

The fact of the matter is that motorcycles are dangerous, no matter how much gear you wear or how safe you drive, you are still at risk.

That is something to think about while you drive around town in the safety of your big truck.

No Seat Belt

Motorcycles don’t have seat belts which means you are not attached to the seat while you are screaming down the highway doing 80 mph. A small object in the road that forces you to swerve or a fool in an Audi who doesn’t see you and cuts you off can send you lip-skidding across the pavement at a very high rate of speed.

If you have ever had a rug burn, take the pain that caused and multiply it by 1,000,000 and that is how you are going to feel after dumping your bike in the road. Think of the pavement as a giant cheese grater.

No Windshield

Most motorcycles don't have windshields, and the ones that do are too small to protect you from the objects that will be flying in your face.

As soon as you reach a speed of about 50 mph and higher, any small pebble that hits you in the face will cause serious pain. And we are guessing that wearing a pair of Ray-Ban sunglasses isn't going to protect your eyes the way you wish they had.

Rain

It doesn't take long for the weather to go south on a nice day. One minute, the sun is shining and all's right with the world and a few minutes later it’s pouring rain.

And when this does happen, the last place you want to be is riding a motorcycle.

Girls Dig Motorcycles

Yes, this might be true, but if you have a hard time drawing the attention of women anyway, a motorcycle isn't going to work miracles. Besides, the types of women who are attracted to guys with motorcycles usually aren't the type you would want to bring to your family’s house on Thanksgiving to meet your mom.

Besides, there are plenty of lovely women out there who are attracted to guys who drive pickup trucks.

Bikes Aren’t Cheap

A motorcycle owner will argue that it is a cheaper option than owning a truck. And while that might be true to a point, it doesn't tell the whole story.

After you shell out money for a bike, you need to have the right gear as well. And if you think all you need is a helmet, we have news for you, buddy. A smart bike rider knows that even taking a spill going 15 mph is going to shred your jeans, they will come off like a wet paper towel.

Anyway, if you have some extra cash and you have considered buying a motorcycle, visit BB Wheels instead and check out our line of truck wheels. They are cheaper than a motorcycle and better to look at.
