Reason #21 that my mid-life crisis hasn’t led to me buying a motorbike yet
Personally, I’m inching closer and closer to that bad decision. I recently found out Suzuki brought back the small displacement GSXR and it’s cheap! Not a good combo for keeping me on 4 wheels. Worlds ending anyhow, right?
Like 90% of motorcycle collisions are the driver running into something. Not being hit, not mechanical problems, not external forces.
If you only ride when you know you’re good, you’re as safe as a car.
If you only have a bike bikes are dangerous. If you default to a car and ride a bike recreationally, or for chores where you aren’t in a rush, you’ll be fine.
I’m honestly not worried about me. I’m worried about the rest of the morons on the road, not paying attention. I drive a Miata and an RX7, so both short cars. The amount of times I’ve nearly been run over, because someone doesn’t see me is crazy. A bike won’t be better.
