The last guy I dated for 3 1/2 years rides a motorcycle and we had a really good time. He's quite a responsible rider, though; doesn't take chances. We used to ride to covered bridges here in Ohio, pack a picnic lunch and have a really good time. We used to do poker runs, too, but there's usually a 'hotdog' who spoils it for everyone else, who speeds and rides erratically, so we stopped going to them. There are no helmet laws in Ohio but we chose to wear them anyhow. Come riding weather when I hear all the bikes going by, I'm sure I'll miss it. This was a tragedy that you reported, to be sure, but the riders that we used to associate with are pretty responsible. We choose safety over daring.
