I do know on average an automobile driver has much less respect on the road
for a motorcyclist than another car. I have lost a few friends in that manner.

Rode bikes, super-bikes for 50 yrs. of my 72 yrs. on earth.
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.
