I ride a motorcycle, that leaves me just as vulnerable as a tuber or water skier. Last I checked, no one was trying to drop the speed limit to 45 on the highways to protect motorcyclists. Probably because it's a silly argument.

Skiing and tubing are inherently risky, like motorcyling and kayaking. How many tubers, skiers or kayakers have been hit by boats going over 45 on Winnipesaukee? I can assure you plenty of motorcyclists have been killed by cars going over 45. Maybe we should just ban cars?
