Yeah, people don't understand how dangerous motorcycles are. The fatality rate for motorcycles in the US is 23 per 100 million miles traveled. For cars that number is 0.7. Assuming you ride 4,000 miles per year for 40 years, that gives you a 4% chance of death. The chance of being crippled or receiving a brain injury is probably higher than that.
