It all depends on the driver. If you're gonna do dumb stuff then yeah they're unsafe. But other then that they're safe, at least in my opinion

i agree, but look at it this way. you cant control other drivers. if you are in a car and someone nudges you, you will probably be ok. on a bike in the same situation, you are roadkill.

If you really want the bike, to reassure your wife you could make sure to wear leathers as well as a helmet. My uncle and cousins have raced motorcycles for years. Now they're working on the third generation. Gavin's only three, but he already has a three-wheeler and a zinger, which is a really small motorcycle. My uncle has something like 21 motorcycles now. He also works at a Harley shop which was his dream job for years.

practice on a nice grassy field first so if you fall over it won't hurt so much
that what my cousin does when he's trying to do tricks on his motorcycle

I agree with Finti. The wrong person can turn a bicycle into an instrument of destruction.

This is a question for BBB2 
A friend of mine has a bike and he says that you fall atleast once in your riding (sp) life. Now it depends on the fall.
IMO I love bikes and would love to have one but I deffenatly feel safer in a car.

Get an Indian Motorcycle or a Harley because they are loud and people hear you coming. That's my two cents, RJ.

Kes> Yep, cars are definetely safer than bicycles. I still have a scar over my brow from this spring, when a car decided it could probably break traffic-rules, when I was biking.
But biking is healthier... Depending on the smog-levels

personaly i love biking..and i do it a lot.
Cars are a lot safer than morcycles, obviously. But i'd like one more than a car. Depends on what do you want it for. It's perfect for your personal fun...but not for family purposes..ya know...baggage and stuff.
i think they're not THAT risky.
just remember what trinity does in M2. you're safe while you don't do that
