This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.
Be warned:
- Anon is often crazy.
- Anon is often depressed.
- Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.
If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

North American infrastructure is designed for cars first, and motorcycles are somewhat rare to see compared to the number of cars and trucks on the road. I think it's maybe more dangerous to ride a motorcycle in NA than in SEA just because everyone around you is in a giant metal box that can kill you, and I think that's why many people here choose not to ride motorcycles. That, and winter, of course.
As for the licensing, at least in the US, a motorcycle license is actually just an endorsement on a standard driver's license, so you need to have the standard car license first.
The person I was responding to isn't american, because motorcycle licenses are like 10 USD in both the states I've lived in.
Also my question was why is it expensive.
