It's crazy out here. Makes me glad I sold my bike a few years back. Not even fully summer yet and people are getting killed left and right due to people not paying attention.

Owning a bike is just stupid, especially if you have a family to take care of. Most bikers give the speech about how it's other people fault and they should look out for them, but why would you even take the chance with your life??
I really want to own a bike and skydive, but I'm not going to do either because I have a family.

Bikes are fine. Doing dumb sh*t and irresponsible drivers are the problem. I tried to daily a 600rr but found that the majority or drivers will make eye contact before simply coming over right on top of you, as if to say "I'm bigger, go f*ck yourself."
That and resisting the urge to utterly destroy every Harley rider that thought he was piloting a Ducati.

Motorcycles are less safe than cars because they have fewer wheels. Other than that, it's the same from a physical standpoint, but the mental aspect is what gets more motorcyclists creamed. Cage drivers that don't look out for them (too busy texting) don't help. Bikers that feel like they should be able to ride just any old place in the lane and be fine also don't help. If you're on two wheels, ride like 0% of the other people using the road can see you, and you'll be better off.
