[QUOTE="Fred W, post: 704075, member: 3828"] ...and he's shifting his torso weight up as high as he can to get the maximum peg grindage? From Merriam Webster Online: Main Entry: dan·ger·ous Pronunciation: \ˈdān-jə-rəs; ˈdān-jərs, -zhrəs\ Function: adjective Date: 15th century 1 : exposing to or involving danger <a dangerous job> 2 : able or likely to inflict injury or harm <a dangerous man> Dangerous applies to something that [I][B][/B][/I][I][B]may[/B][/I] [I][B][/B][/I]cause harm or loss [I][B][/B][/I][I][B]unless dealt with carefully[/B][/I] [I][B][/B][/I]<soldiers on a dangerous mission>. Hazardous implies great and continuous risk of harm or failure <claims that smoking is hazardous to your health> I'd say that motorcycling fits definition #1 once your realize the meaning of "dangerous" but wouldn't be considered hazardous.
