We always hear about how dangerous riding is. There is no doubt there is a calculated risk we are willing to accept for the joy we realize. But if you take out the people who drive under the influence, drive in excessive speeds, or just plain stupidity, you would find that the stats anti riding people use would be greatly reduced. If you ride with sense and maintain your ride, your biggest danger is cages. If you do not follow these rules, then your biggest risk is yourself. You see it everyday. Ride safe. :s
