My thoughts exactly. Staying balanced on a motorcycle isn't even on the list of things that are dangerous about riding one. Once you get over about 10 mph, it's impossible to fall off one.
- greghinch 14y agoThat's not exactly true, learning to corner properly on a motorcycle is probably the toughest skill to master. That being said, if you ride conservatively you can do just fine with only a little practice. But yea, the most dangerous part of riding a bike, once you have even just a few months experience, is the other cars on the road (most of whom don't see you).
- deelowe 14y agoYeah. My point is that balance isn't an issue on a bike. The rider might not be able to hold on, but a bike is perfectly capable of keeping itself upright. Sometimes even to the detriment of the rider. Low speed accidents where a rider drops a bike isn't enough of a concern to design something like this, so I'm ignoring those for the above statement.
- Nick_C 14y agoYeah. I've dropped my bikes three times over 20 years -- every time was at less than 10mph.
