[quote=Anonymous]Motorcycling has risks, which can be managed but not eliminated entirely.  That's true of all forms of transportation, though.

Some motorcyclists fail to manage risk at all - they are not licensed to operate a motorcycle, they have no formal training in operating one, they ride after consuming intoxicants or when emotionally upset or otherwise distracted, and they don't use quality/sufficient protective gear.  such riders sometimes ride irresponsibly, speeding excessively, weaving through traffic, or otherwise behaving incautiously.

Others are very risk-conscious and take measure to minimize their risk.  They have a motorcycle license, they have had formal training in operating their bike, they never ride after drinking, they don't use drugs, they wear high quality full-face helmets and armored protective clothing (including gauntlet-style gloves and proper motorcycling boots), and they use airbag vests for an additional layer of protection.  They ride as if every driver around them is distracted by their cell phones.  [/quote]
