What is the most motorcycle friendly state?

Maine.
We don't have an insane number of motorcyclists here like in some states, so bikes and cagies actually get along pretty well.

Mine but fuck off we’re full

>t. RI

>>28523908 (OP)
I can't even imagine not having insurance on a motorcycle. I guess they just assume you'll be dead if you crash.

>>28524089
This that's insane. There nfw id ride without good medical coverage. Even a slow fall can destroy an arm and put you in a cast like nothing.

>>28523910
we dont have an insane amount of anything because its a desolate retiree shithole

>>28524151
>Maine
>shithole
speak for yourself brother. one of the best /out/ states

>>28524153
maybe if you know good secret areas but during tourist season its gay as hell. i just got back driving near sebago and got stuck in traffic for 30 minutes because everyones bringing their stupid kayaks out there. the /out/ part of the state lasts a whole 2.5 months before the weather sucks ass again. that's also not counting times it gets 100% humidity and 90 degrees out for weeks straight such as the last couple of weeks.

its nice to visit not to live in

>>28524161
Idk man, I love maine in winter but i guess that's outside of tourist season. Bar Harbor and Acadia (if opened) are like empty. It's great and up around Baxter is lovely with snow

>>28523908 (OP)
>WA doesn't require moto insurance
Weird cause its a $500 ticket for not having auto insurance

>>28524151
I live near a beach, lol.
It's absolutely packed here in york.

>>28524320
oob? i used to live right on the pier and the traffic was pure aids for june and july. thankfully i was wfh and almost never went outside
used to hear a lot of fights outside too which was funny
people would tell me oob is so cool or whatever but all people do in oob is drink and eat fried dogfood. you cant even comfortably swim in the water because the shit is so cold even when its 90 out lol. but idk no matter where i would live i would find a reason to bitch about it its possible i just enjoy being miserable :-)

This is an outdated map. Washington mandated motorcycle insurance in 2019

>>28524107
>>28524089
That's what health insurance is for

>>28524485
Sometimes they let motorcyclists die because then they can harvest the organs for transplantation.

>>28524187
I lived in Maine when I was 7-18 yrs old, love the bar harbor Acadia area in winter. If we're talking motorcycles I remember the roads being complete shit, is that still true?

>>28523908 (OP)
Texas has wide open spaces but depending on the city you'll either run into nightmare traffic or speed demons that will make zero effort to avoid you

>>28524601
San Antonio most especially driving through there feels like driving through a race track half the time

>>28523910
There's a big motorcycle gathering up in the Maine woods that my boomer coworkers go to every year. Sorta like a mini Sturgis but all the old boomers just drive around and swap wives.

>>28524603
>They can't catch all of us
Unofficial but very real motto of Texas drivers.

Montana chad here. It’s bloody perfect up here. Too bad we’re full, and we like to brutally beat out of staters up

>>28524736

Lmao that's based I gotta drive through Texas I hear they have the fastest highway in the USA near Austin

>>28524740

I want out of this state desu.

>>28523908 (OP)
CA due to legal lanesplitting.
But every state’s car driver population hates motorcyclists due to a lot of motorcyclists being aggressive riders or other historical perception of motorcyclists being reckless.
Just ride extremely defensively which also includes being on the offensive and speed when you have to get yourself in a safe position.

>>28523908 (OP)
state of mind

>>28525082
>small so not many long roads
What are you not allowed to drive into the next state ovewr or something?

>>28524089
Can you imagine not having insurance for a bicycle?

>>28525082
You're a gay pussy, NJ is an amazing rider's state. There's a law against traffic cameras and speed limits are almost never enforced. The garden state parkway has no speed enforcement whatsoever and traffic is regularly 90-100mph, and it's beautiful and hours long with gentle curves. The Northwest, the west, and the south are heavily forested and there are tons of state parks and twisty forest roads to ride on. There are literally mountains in the north that you can ski on with more great roads for riding. In the cities you can run red lights, lane split, wheelie, and do literally anything you want because cops are not allowed to chase motorcycles in this state. There are a lot of motorcycles and cages don't get mad when you lane split because they're used to it and they're not pussies. Uhh what else, there are no motorcycle inspections here and no emissions or sound checks.

>Waaah, the traffic is so aggressive, I want more law enforcement
You are a baby faggot who doesn't deserve to have fun with us. Go somewhere else

The reason why motorcycles are so deadly is simply just because of cars. Fatalities resulting from two motorcycles crashing into each other is almost unheard of

>>28523908 (OP)
Minnesota joined into one of those states as motorcycle friendly state, not because no-mandatory insurance for motorcycles. But because they legalized motorcycle lane splitting when traffic is stationary during gridlocks.

>>28524740
Can you confirm if insurance is not required there?

>>28525759
That’s non of your business. Stay away from my state

>>28525261
If you have to go to a different state to ride a bike it's not a very good state for riding, now is it?

prolly not urs

>>28525724
Most accidents are rider error and involve no collisions at all. It's just people taking turns too fast or slippin on clippins. Furthermore, most accidents that are legally other people's fault can be avoided by defensive riding and predicting their mistakes. Blaming cars is actually a cope for having no skill.

>>28525884

>a law against traffic cameras and speed limits are almost never enforced
Based

>The reason why motorcycles are so deadly is simply just because they weave in and out of traffic, exclusively speed, and generally act like they're invincible.
