The last few posts are reasons I don't ride them anymore. It's not my ability that scares me it's the things you can't control- Cars & Trucks not seeing you or seeing you & not having it register in their brains, or something simple as a deer running out into you. Your chances of survival are greatly reduced on a bike. I've been to plenty of accidents involving motorcycles (as a LEO), & it rarely comes out good for the person on a bike.
