I've always ridden bikes (yup, a Harley), and I know the risks. And
it's
because I know the risks of both motorcycles and airplanes that I would

prefer the "risk" of flying over a mountain at night rather than sitting
still on a Harley at a red light on a weekend evening.


Your statement makes no sense, if you ride bikes and fly you risk both.


Presumably not at the same time though.

I'm a pilot, as well as a homeowner. That means I fly an airplane, and I
have to mow the lawn. I "risk" both, but I prefer flying.

So, why doesn't his statement make sense? Can't he prefer engaging in one
risky activity over another?
