So for the past month, I've been transfixed on bikes...they are just so cool! Can't get the sound of that screaming CBR250 hitting 20krpm out of my head.
But what scares me is that it seems like so many people die :/ How bad is it? In the earlier pages of this thread I kept getting the feel that a lot of people knew someone who died riding. I look up random threads on bike forums, and there seems to be an alarming number of "went for a group ride, another biker lost control and crashed, he didn't make it
"...whereas you rarely hear about people dying in cars.
So how bad is it really?
