Well...there are certain things you can do to minimize the odds. Pick up a copy of motorcycle for dummies and you will see some startling figures.
Some samples:
75% [I forget if it is 65 or 75%] of all fatalities occur to drivers who are unlicensed and/or not on legal bikes.
90% [I forget this number also, but it was a large number] of all accidents come from the front, so be very aware when making a left or right hand turn.
So just by being legal and taking note of when the majority of accidents happen can greatly reduce the risk.
I have owned 4 motorcycles. I have been in two accidents, both very minor.
- In my training course, they told me 44% of fatalities occur while under the influence of alcohol.********
