I mean yes and no, street bikes are great and fun (i race motocross) but you just makinfg yourself smaller when your out on the road with cars 4 times the size of you. So just be cauious and try not to ride in rush hour and you should be alright.
as long as you treat the motorcycle like a car, and others treat you like a car then you are pretty safe. However, once you start splitting lanes and weaving in and out of cars it can get dangerous. All it takes is one car who doesn't see you to change lanes or swerve while you are passing in between lanes to get you into some serious trouble. Just stay out of the driver's blind spot and you should be fine.
Its not dangerous if your catious and careful. You need to be thinking the hole time, just about how your driving it, where you are going to go, etc. You cant take your mind off of it. Its not dangerous if you can handle it. Most people dont get motorcycles untill there older though. Highschool/College is to young for one.
depends problem is now a days is that there is so much traffic on the roads cars especially you cant always see a bike coming up behind you cos some people riding them go so fast and over take you so its hard to judge how much time you have befor they are on your ass my parents used to be what you would call greasers in the 60s and my mom had a huge motorbike accident and they were stationary she was throw 500 ft broke both her legs was in a coma for a week has a 5 inch scar on her head and broke her collar bone just imagin how bad it woulda been if they were moving .... its not the rider if they are generally careful its the people around you that dont see or hear you coming my father also rides a bike and was knocked off not to long ago cos people in cars dont care about bikers they think they own the road just be careful in what you do and you should be fine
Be safe..Wear protective clothing at all times. Alot of riders get ----y afterawhile and think theyve had enough experience so they dont have to wear a helmet. Im too young to drive a motorcylce on the streets but Ive been on tons of them and yes I already have money for one when i become of age. I myself have fallen on one..it hurt..alot. But i got off lucky You can ask ghost rider if its cool to drive fast ona highway..oh wait..he died going 200 mph (or so i heard)
IMO, you can be the best motorcicle driver EVER!!! but the asshole behind the car thats next to you can be drunk, and thats what can actually hurt.. of course my 2 cents
Wear a helemt no matter what. I wouldnt reccomend it, Theres nothin to save yourself with if you get hit, you're going off. In a car, you got seatbelt, airbags, The actual car itself
50% of all motorcyclists get into an accident once in their life time esp on the freeways even though they're responsible other drivers hit them cause of blindspots etc.
yeah its dangerous if you hit a pot hole on the highway, you really dont have any protection other then your helmet but sometimes that does you know good when your neck hits the pavement at 60mph.
As only as you don't try to speed on the high ways or anywhere. Dont try to go over 70 or 80 because if you lose control or hit a car your gottting get very injured or killed. dont try those insane tricks either like doing a wheelie. if you mess up your ----ed.
I ride, but its only like offroad becuase i am only 14 i have been riding since i was in like 3rd grade, i raced in 6th grade, with a local thing and i got first over all so yah i love riding its the story of my life
