On the SAFETY factor - bikes are actually less dangerous than being in your car waiting to be cleaned up by another tin top owner falling asleep behind the wheel from boredom....when did you ever hear of a bike rider falling asleep?
But mainly they're safer cause they brake ALOT quicker and you can easily move out of the way of approaching doom > this is what I say by if you treat every single car near or close to you as a potential accident you will NEVER get hit by another car or hit a car yourself (this is rare for a bike rider to be the CAUSE of the acco) so eyes peeled, be paranoid as anhd you'll be fine...........
These things do take some of the enjoyment out of riding tho so thus why I race bikes now cause after starting a stunt company and riding 300,000kms plus on road I know how much having to watch for inconsiderate car drivers ruins your day.....
