A new hero On January 2, 2007, the city of New York had a new hero – ‘Subway-Superman’, Wesley Autrey. Fifty-year-old Mr. Autrey was waiting on the subway platform with his two young daughters, aged four and six.
Suddenly, a young man who was standing on the platform – twenty-year-old Camron Hollopeter – fell onto the tracks. And just at that moment the subway train entered the station! Mr. Autrey reacted immediately – he jumped onto the tracks and then he lay on top of the man, between the two train tracks. The train couldn’t stop in time and five subway cars rolled over the two men before the train stopped. Subway workers then helped them and, incredibly, no one was badly hurt! Mr. Hollopeter, a student at the New York Film Academy, was taken to hospital with bumps and bruises. Mr. Autrey was unhurt – he was just a little dirty.
Mr. Autrey became a national hero and celebrity overnight: the mayor of New York presented him with the Bronze Medallion for bravery; the New York Film Academy also gave him $2,500 for his children education. And, last but not least, Mr. Autrey was told he could ride the New York subway for a year for free!
Now, Mr. Autrey is one of America’s everyday heroes, normal people who believe in doing the right thing. But in an interview he said, “I don’t feel like I did something spectacular. I just saw someone who needed help. I did what I felt was right.”

What are the advantages of this form of transport.
For the motorcycle does not exist limitation, traffic police, traffic jams and many other problems on the road. It is easier to maintain than any car. It enhances the thrill.
Disadvantages.
Everything would be fine, but the driver and passenger insecurity on the weather conditions (special clothing) and the instability of the motion on the snow and ice cover the roads spoil his reputation. Therefore, it is inconvenient in bad weather.In addition, the motorcycle may be not only elegant, but also the most dangerous. The chances of surviving an accident at the motorcyclist is extremely small. Death comes instantly. Maimed - it is also not the best option. Therefore, in any extreme sports, and even on the road you need to know the measure of speed and emotion. After all, sometimes life does not forgive mistakes.
