motorcycles are also significantly more dangerous, regrettably. I used to be very into them when I was younger, and then having multiple friends get into motor

  A relative of mine runs a motorcycle school and that's what originally got me into it. While bikes are dangerous, a regrettably high percentage of the accidents are things that were completely avoidable if safe and defensive driving practices were used. In my subjective opinion it's a completely separate mindset you need to develop and the minimum required program simply does not come anywhere close to that. As the saying goes, on a bike it's only a matter of when you fall, not if, so all the gear all the time.

  I had some friends, I say friends. They are dead because you can’t treat motorcycling like driving. You have to actually pay attention and not act like a tool if you want to live. I am able to pay attention and am not a tool, I am still alive. edit For context, in my country a not insignificant amount of motorcyclists will try and tell you the only thing dangerous about riding a motorcycle is car drivers, but the statistics simply do not show this. They show that the majority of incidents can be attributed to the motorcyclist. Yes, other drivers are heavily represented, just not to the levels of your average "I can do no wrong" motorcyclist would try to convince you of.
