MC rider. Many accidents occur during the early years, particularly as the new rider gets comfortable. There's a transition period where your muscle memory kicks in for basic riding skills, but not developed enough to keep you out of trouble. It is an incredible feeling of false confidence that makes you feel invincible. It's possible to be 'smart' and reduce risk during this period, but I'm not advocating people generally go out and start riding either.

Too bad the statistics say otherwise. I am a motorcyclist myself. I just don’t have the will to lie to myself or others.

- snozolli 3mo agoYears ago, an article in MCN said that something like 3/4 of all single vehicle motorcyclist fatalities involved alcohol. They also mentioned that Harley cruiser culture was wildly overrepresented. Hopefully, with Baby Boomers aging out of riding, bar-hopping biker culture is disappearing, too.

- irjustin 3mo agoThis is true for pretty much everyone in every skill. But that's an empty statement. A huge danger for motorcycle riders is young/new car drivers who fall into this exact local minimum.
