I’ve been doing a little studying seeing how my wife is having second thoughts on the matter, now. I’m sure I’ll end up with a bike but, it’s gonna take some buttering up to get it. LOL Here’s some sites that I found that look helpful. It appears that vast majority of motorcycle accidents are either alcohol related or of no fault to the rider, at all. Then, the vast majority of the rest are idiots being idiots. Glad I’m not an idiot and the wife knows this.
