Felt much safer racing-riding a bike till I didn't and quit.
Most killed on bikes don't know how to ride safely.
It really is a special skill most don't ever develop.
I'm sure Luck is also involved.

While still in high school I lost 8 friends in car accidents alone.
4 in a GTO that went off the road at speed and hit a tree.
4 in a GTX that lost control and hit a tree.

I'm not knocking bikes, I love Harley's and own one, I even have a 04 F250 Harley Davidson Super Duty. Just saying bikes offer no protection in a accident, most of it has to do with where you ride. On dirt at worst you get froggy and maim yourself, streets and highways on the other hand offer deeper lessons. Statistics speak for themselves.

I wouldn't care to count the friends lost to cars, most in the early days, some get lucky some don't, thing is all my friends drive for work and recreation. Over the years I've made allot of friends that ride, not near as many that drive, when they do crash, it's far more serious, killed or badly malled and take years to recover if ever. Do the math...

Harley Davidson will be around for years, as for people, some live and learn, some never get a second chance.
