—— The lions share of motorcycle fatalities and injuries are young guys on 600 cc crotch rockets. -——
On a Virginia to Massachusetts trip, we passed 32 motorcycles. Actually, 30 passed us, at high rates of speed, as we travelled at 70 mph.
Of those, 28 were driving recklessly, weaving in traffic. Most were kids on Japanese bikes.
So my conclusion is that motorcycle riding isn’t inherently dangerous. The drivers are the problem.

I put it this way:
There are two things a man should not do until he is 35 years of age:
1. Buy a motorcycle
2. Get married.
No, it’s physics. 2 wheel set is less stable than 4. Everything else being the same, the motorcycle is more dangerous.
