IT is safe to have a motorcycle?

well. that not only depends on ourselves careness or technical to drive one motorcycle.we need count on other drivers careness also. here are lots of street killer and really dangerous to drive one motorcyle at the harsh hours on the road so the govment forbidden motors now..

We too have a lot of motorcycle in our country more than cars. Cars are pretty expensive as a normal middle class could not buy one. It is safe to move on cars rather than motorcycle, but in our country like India due to heavy traffic and population, riding on a motorcycle is much easier than car. It may do cause accidents with heavy injury but for day today life and cheaper transport many prefer motorcycle.

I have a sister who is an EMT and an emergency room nurse who says that motorcycles are just job security for her. Sounds creul but it is the truth. You do not buy a bike with the attitude that you are never going to wreck, you buy a bike knowing it is going to happen and you do all you can to protect your body so you can walk away from it. To me the fuel milage is not worth it.

my boyfriends dad had a motorbike, someone ran into him and now he cant work anymore. he has metal plates in his leg, had to get his knee reconstructed etc etc. I would never go on one, ever!

The view from a motorcycle is about the same as a small SUV, though with a good rider it's incredibly nimble -- even more so than a sportscar. A motorcycle can stop far quicker than any car short of the car hitting a brick wall. Obviously a moderate bike can out-accelerate anything but top-of-the-line cars. A motorcycle can also fit into smaller spaces than any car, so even bicycle lanes are reasonable "outs" in a bad situation. On a motorcycle you will be more acutely aware of your surroundings because your life depends on it, and so you're a better driver as a result. When I'm stuck in a car for example I do head checks instead of a mirror check, and I can predict with a high degree of accuracy the stupidity of my fellow drivers. A dumb-*ss on the phone, a Mario Andretti wannabe, a hormone-wracked teenager -- whether in a car or on a motorcycle I notice and juggle these about as quickly as I judge the upcoming turn and other details when I'm riding on roads I enjoy.

years ago my best friend was fatally injured in a horrible motorcycle accident. i cant even see one speeding by without getting upset and having those memories return. of course i am bias to this question but i will never ride on one again or encourage anyone i know to purchase one. i am a huge fan of seat belts and all of the safety features that cars and trucks and vans offer. just my opinion!

The danger of having a motorcycle will depend on the attitude of its rider. When riding a motorcycle a rider should have focus on what he/she is doing, and he/she should consider all the vehicles around him. And most of all always remember you always wear your protective gears and ride safely.

Yeah it's actually dangerous to ride a motorcyle . In our city there are a lot of motorcycles . People don't follow the traffic rules at all which make it more dangerous . In other side good motorcycle is easy to be stolen and people should watch their own motorcycle very carefully.
