Last year, ESPN did a whole segment show on motorcycles and athletes. They interviewed Ben for a lot of the show and he was talking about how he rides safe and doesn't need a helmet. What a doof.

You gamble your life everytime you ride a motorcycle. Those things are death traps.

not as bad as whats his name from cleveland (tightend).most of these guys have clauses in their contract not allowing them to do these things,seriously! the guy from clevelands not getting his money and had to give part of his signing bonus back,dumbass!

Kellen winslow jr.

that douche likened football to war, and said some nasty similar things right to thte press. I beleive he is a proud miami hurricane. Ass.

WE ARE

PENN STATE!!!

RAHHHHHHH!!!

Go UF!

Ew..UF.

When your state of well being is your primary investment, you'd think these athletes would consider being safe.

He'll put on a football helmet, but not a motorcycle helmet. What an idiot. And he rides a crotch rocket. You'd think he'd have a custom bike.
I would. But I wouldn't ride it except around the block, cuz motorcycles scare me. I wrecked an 80 when I was a kid and a moped in college. I've had 2 close friends get hurt in wrecks and recently saw a guy laying in the middle of the highway with a bunch of people standing around him and his smashed bike (hit the back of a car).
I take it back, I wouldn't even ride it around the block... so sad...

the ironic thing is ben was the player who said publicly after kellen winslow crashed that the owners shouldnt put clauses into a contract for this type of thing because he rides a motorcycle safely.if i pay someone $100 mill for 5 years ,he better be carefull taking a shit in the a.m.



also there is a video tape of kellens crash ,we have to find it! they breifly showed it on espn and i found it funny.not because he got hurt or that hes a total dick,or that he was a talentless over payed tight end ,or that he played for clevelend/miami-but because the nimrod just signed a 40 million dllr contract and discides he wants to LEARN how to ride a bike. he was on the bike like 5 seconds!

you might get a second chance in an accident with a car but its slim on a bike-hes lucky!

Go Steelers!!! Ok now that's out of the way. Having grown up near Pittsburgh a motorcycle is not the safest form of transportation in the area. Now living in Ben's hometown Findlay, country compared to Pittsburgh maybe Ben forgot where he was. Ironic, the more money some of these athletes get, the less intelligent they become.

He was riding safe. It was the other dumbass driving that wasnt.

In an interview with Terry Bradshaw, Terry told Ben to not ride them and wait till he retires.
