Soo i hear a lot of things. i was wondering if there was an actual study on the amount of fatal motorcycle crashes, and the cause of it. well actually i'ts mostly from ppl who show off and do stunts on the street right?
well i was even more wondering if there was a comparison of % of fatal bike accidents where it wasn't the biker's fault compared to the % of fatal car crashes. But i wanted some of the factors removed from this statistic, such as stupid people who show off on public roads (which would more than likely lower the percent greatly).
I heard most young street bike drivers die within the first 6 months from inexperience and over doing it, and most of all for show boating.
i guess i'm asking really, if you were a good rider, able to predict movements of cars, wore visible clothes, took the msf class, does not do stunts on public roads, able to avoid accidents and w/e. i'm asking the % chance of either really bad accident or fatal accident caused by another car/biker hitting you from behind, considering behind is probably the only place u can't exactly see what's coming.
iono i guess i'm in despair of not getting one now because of discouragement.
Well I can tell you I had a 2007 R1 and loved it put over 3000 miles on it in about 6 months of riding and did not show off with it but I did ride fast. That is what got me into trouble on 5/25/08 at 9:10 pm I hit and killed a deer at 100 + mph well I guess you would know the bike was a total loss but never the less I lived with a lot of road rash and a couple of deep cuts. I will tell you I was wearing my helmet but not my riding coat or gloves this is why I had so much road rash. I can also tell you I am a truck driver I have a CDL class A and know how to watch for other drivers and animals but shit happens and this deer ran out in front of me out of a ditch and I had no time to stop. So all I can tell you is good luck and where your riding gear.
