Counter point: those are the only riders you notice.
Anecdote pre declared, your counterpoint is parried.
You said every rider you ever see is breaking the law. Which is clearly nonsense. Meanwhile dont pretend you never break any road rules.
And finally
The topic is motorbikes in queensland. Not america.
Both main points you raised related to my sharing an anecdote, which, as you seemingly don't know the word generally means:
A biographical event specific to the speaker's experience.
So yes, every rider I SEE, implying the ones I personally detect, and personally NOTICE.
Next I used whatever speed unit I wanted because the condition of reckless motorbike usage is not specific to Queensland, and as I already mentioned I was using an anecdote (again reminder that means a story about my own life, sorry if you forgot again), I used the speed unit that applied to where I experienced it.
If you're confused about when I started my anecdote refer to the first two words of my comment.
Lastly nice attempt with the Tu Quoque fallacy, suggesting I am a lawbreaker too and therefore can't criticize others. Childish.
Get parried, begone, drive safely.
