[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I wouldn't do it. I see how drivers can't even see the motor cyclist coming up unless they are the loud fast speeders. I doubt you would be a fast speeder driver but it seems dangerous. yes, you don't get in accidents often but when you do, it's almost always fatal for motorcyclist.

This is just BS.  Total and complete BS.  Numbers that this poster pulled of of their butt.

There were 4600 (roughly) motorcycle accident fatalities last year.  And 88,000 injuries.  Hardly almost always.

Older riders on big heavy bikes get killed.  So avoid the Harley Baggers (they cost 30k plus anyway).

A third of the fatalities involved alcohol.  Don't drink.

A large number involved high speeds and super sport bikes (those that can do 180 plus).  Don't buy a crotch rocket and don't speed.

Just read a little bit and reduce your risk.

Don't drink and ride your Harley on Saturday afternoon with the rest of your dentist buddies.

Don't buy a crotch rocket and go 120 plus down the freeway.

Pay attention.

Wear a helmet.
