Also a Motorcycle Rider is only likely to hurt His or Her self if they cause an accident.
After years of riding a Motor Cycle many yeas I had the feeling like I had a Bulls Eye Target painted on My back. I believe it is a great way to learn defensive diving.
I think People would be better Car Drivers if they had to spend their first 2 years of Diving on a Motorcycle before they are allowed to drive a Car.
The inattentive or carless first time Cycle Riders would get injured or worse but at least they would likely not hurt someone else.
