I've actually had 45 of them in my 48 yrs. of life. I have never had an accident. It can be done. How many people have you heard of being killed in cars? Has anybody quit driving cars after that tragic news? Anyway, I love bikes and am privileged to make a living of it. You just have to pay a litlle more attention when riding a bike. If you are going down the road and see someone pull up to a stop sign from a side street, flick your headlight once or twice.(low/high beam) People just look at things differently. I'm sure if we compared statistics, more people hurt in cars than on bikes. Most of the people that I have heard hurt on bikes were riding past their experience, (Too fast, Corners too hot, showing off, etc.) Bikes are suppose to be fun, not death traps. It's up to the individual in my opinion. Sorry for the long answer.

I like motorcycles, but hate the fact the manufacturers would rather make a profit than push more practical motorcycles on new, inexperienced riders.
There needs to be a graduated scale of competency for motorcyclists. Most of the bikes on the road, sportbikes in specific, are way overpowered for their rider. I feel no remorse for riders who flagrantly abuse their machines in traffic, only to end up paralyzed, an amputee, or mangled for life.

Two wheels is the only way to go on the black-top. I've been badly bent by a stupid motorist, but that's life. Ride as though everyone else on the road is out to get you, and you have a good chance to keep going!
The more bikes that get on to the road (and I don't care WHAT type of bike) the better off we all are - people who know a motorcyclist become aware of motorbikes - and that's a goodness!
Know your own limits, and always, ALWAYS, stay within them! Ride safe :)

Yeah; been a biker since I was 13 and my dad bought a Wolf to do up for me- I could never ride it because it was cast iron and even he had problems with it, but learned eventually. 65 now, and still doin' that thing, only its a trike now. I have a theory on how to cut right down on bikers being killed and maimed by blind car drivers- if you want a car license, you have to ride a bike for a minimum of two years and take a test; then you can drive a car. Im recovering from a blind bastard who tried to overtake me when I was turning LEFT (in the UK), hit the outer wheel on my trike and threw me about 50 feet; this is the second messy one \I have had, but it hasnt put me off because it wasnt my fault.

Only when they don't lead to death and destruction. Motorists can't see motorcycles and they run into them. Whether it's the motorist's fault or not, it's a fact. You have no protection when riding a motorcycle as you do riding in a car. Think about it. Is your life worth the thrill? At least ride off road where there's no autos to run into.

Love them, was a little scared before i tried them but they play a big part of my life. Had a few crashes, broken bones smashed up bikes but still carried on.
Have 4 at the moment, soft spot for Ducati's and would love to have a go of one of the gp bikes or superbikes.

Hottest day of the year. Hottest day for a hundred years. I got the afternoon off, and spent it hooning around three counties trying to keep cool. If you keep it above 95 mph it stays pretty sweet. Gotta love bikes!

Wouldn't know what to do without one, or three are the case may be. Wearing gear and riding safe reduces your chance of accident injury by 70% or more - luck has a lot to do with the rest.....
