Ya'll are no fun.

That's true. But it isn't the fun part that's the subject.

Why not outlaw bikes all together.

People have proposed it. You could make a very good case for it. But that,
too, is part of a democracy. That's where line-drawing comes in. The
consensus is that motocycles are something like four or five times more
likely to kill their riders or put them in the hospital, but the public
doesn't want to kill the fun. What they want to do, in roughly half of the
states, is to keep a risky enterprise from becoming completely nuts.
