Drivers average 8x more mileage in a given year. 8 != 1000000
Also... You don't have the funds to buy new stuff? You make almost as much as I do, don't have a mortgage and track a second car. You may not have given it priority to get the funds because you'd rather do those things or go on a trip to say... London or Chicago.... but you have the funds. It's not at the top of the disposible income because like I said, it's not really your thing. Matt's crashed his bike twice now and despite making (what I think is) significantly less than you he's put it back together as soon as he was healed.
It ain't your thing and that's cool with me, I just have a problem with posting a guilt trip blog as food for thought. It helped you, awesome... but this kinda stuff just gets soooo tired because you hear it from everyone who doesn't ride.

"Here, at last, is the cure for texting while driving. The millions of deaths which occur every year due to the iPhone’s ability to stream the Kim K/Ray-J video in 4G could all be avoided, every last one of them, if the government issued everyone a Seventies 911 and made sure they always left the house five minutes later than they’d wanted to. It would help if it could be made to rain as well. Full attention on the road. Guaranteed." -Jack Baruth
