  > i was once doing a racecar event at a venue with two racetracks. the other track had a motorcycle event and i think they airlifted three people out over the course of two days. i do not think i will ever be comfortable with riding a motorcycle. For me it depends. I feel safer on a cruiser type bike - low CoG and easy to manoeuvre.

  It's indisputable that motorcycling is a relatively dangerous mode of transport. That said, where I live the required education and multiple exams for public road motorcycling are pretty comprehensive. Most accidents involving multiple drivers/riders occur due to right of way errors. I've been motorcycling for around 5 years now (on a pretty slow bike) and used to commute that way exclusively. In my experience you're pretty safe if you ride like everybody's drunk and out to kill you. I keep the fun stuff off road on a monster KTM dirt bike with a gearing that kicks up the front for the first 3 gears. :-)

    I rode daily for a long time. Road hazards like diesel and ice were the biggest issues when I commuted, though you really have to anticipate what drivers are going to do. I've been down a few times, mostly from screwing around, once from worn tires, once from ice. You don't learn the limits unless you find them. I'm comfortable knowing exactly what I can and can't do if the need arises.
