Motorcycles.... safe or unsafe?

I wanna buy a bike, but my wife thinks they are unsafe... opinions?

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.

Yeah, but ya jus' learn to deal with those situations

deal with them? how are you gonna deal with being thrown off a bike?

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.😄

Its sorta hard to explain RJ, ya jus' do. After a while it starts to come naturaly. A bike comes a part of ya, at least that's my experience

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

the rider decide if the bike is unsafe or not

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.

What kind of bike are you planning on getting?

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

safe 😍

Yeh they're safe. They're slow 😂 No jk.

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 😛

i am thinking about getting a duell. a harley? nah...that screams "look at me!! i am a bad ass!!!!"

don't like harleys that much
i like performance better. A suzuki 😎 or one of 'em new yamahas
Even a BMW..those are really cool

i used to have a bad ass dirt bike. a husqavarna 500. she was a bad mamajama.
