Very funny, but some elements of truth in here. Certainly don't believe that ALL Millennials are like this, but there is a pattern of behavior that's developing.

Millennials

Apparently, the Baby-Boomers nearly all have motorcycles. Generation X
is only buying a few, and the next generation isn't
buying any at all. A recent study was done to find out why.
Here are the reasons why Millennials don't ride
motorcycles:

1. Pants won't pull up far enough for them to straddle
the seat.
2. Can't get their phone to their ear with a helmet on.
3. Can't use two hands to eat while driving.
4. They don't get a trophy and a recognition plaque just
for buying one.
5. Don't have enough muscle to hold the bike up when
stopped.
6. Might have a bug hit them in the face and then they would
need emergency care.
7. Motorcycles don't have air conditioning.
8. They can't afford one because they spent 12 years in
college trying to get a degree in Humanities, Social Studies
or Gender Studies for which no jobs are available.
9. They are allergic to fresh air.
10. Their pajamas get caught on the exhaust pipes.
11. They might get their hands dirty checking the oil.
12. The handle bars have buttons and levers and cannot be
controlled by touch-screen.
13. You have to shift manually and use something called a
clutch.
14. It's too hard to take selfies while riding.
15. They don't come with training wheels like their
bicycles did.
16. Motorcycles don't have power steering or power
brakes.
17. Their nose ring interferes with the face shield.
18. They would have to use leg muscle to back up.
19. When they stop, a light breeze might blow exhaust in
their face.
20. It could rain on them and expose them to non-soft
water.
21. It might scare their therapy dog, and then the dog would
need therapy.
22. Can't get the motorcycle down the basement stairs of
their parent's home.

Somehow they made it "Dangerous" to ride bikes.
In this cotton wrapped society, anything dangerous is not permitted to the kids, like guns Sad

.
After all, there is no seat belt in bikes Cool
