There are definitely . The question, as with anything else in life, is do you think the odds are acceptable?

As you say though the "risks in riding and you don't have the same safety devices on two wheels as you would on four. That means that when you do have a crash/collision your chances of being seriously hurt or killed are higher." Exactly my point. Sure you may wreck or have an accident doing any number of things but with a motorcycle speed, lack of restraint, improper gear, inexperience, other folks on the road can combine to make a motorcycle that much more dangerous and risky to your health. Do I think the risk are acceptable? Yes I rode to work this morning (38 degrees in Oklahoma in May
).
He asked to be talked out of it so I think that is what I am trying to get across if you ride prepared for an accident your chance of survival are much higher.
