I think you have the wrong idea when it comes to how much the average lawyer makes. And while I am certainly not starving, owning a private plain is nowhere close the being within means. I chose a career path that prioritizes quality of life over quantity of income.

Never did anything close to tort/injury law. But my education and experience came in handy. Driver admitted 100% fault at the scene. Damages were relatively minimal. IIRC, less than $300. Ultimately, no insurance company in its right mind is going to fight that in small claims court because they would lose and have to pay not only the damages but court costs on top of that. They dicked around so I had to play the lawyer card.
Don't know the preferred bike of lawyers. However, I did know a dentist who rode a Serotta Ti, demonstrating that some stereotypes have some basis in reality.

I respect your prioritization of quality of life. I made the same choice as a dental specialist.
