Look I'm as much "fuck cars" as the next guy but riding a motorcycle on a highway is unironically suicidal. I personally know a guy who got in a bad crash on one but miraculously survived; he had a year long recovery period but will have various pain and dysfunction in his body for the rest of his life. I also know some people who did pathology rotations (state medical examiner office, autopsy basically) and the big three categories of bodies coming in were drug overdoses, suicides, and motorcycle crashes.

One of the facebook comments links to a seventh person who died a few days before these on June 18th: https://www.fox13seattle.com/news/motorcyclist-killed-sr-530-crash.amp

A close friend was desperate to peer pressure me into riding a motorcycle and I'll serve crack before I'll get on a bike.

If you join an outlaw biker gang you can engage in both activities at the same time!

this friend has less regard for your continued survival than a hitman on a fat contract to shoot you in the head
