He might also point out that nobody ever got trapped in a burning or
sinking motorcycle.  In a crash, he's sure to be thrown free, which
means he'll be completely safe.  (Momentum, what's that?)

Without motorcycles, where would donor organs come from?

I recently read _Consciousness Explained_ by Daniel Dennett, a
non-fiction book which spent whole chapters discussing the "zombie
problem."  He seems to think it's mainly a concern for philosophers,
and that he's solved the problem.

He also kept going on about brains.  So maybe Dennett is a zombie
himself, and is just trying to get us to let our guard down.  Just
see if I go to any book signings of his.
