In a motorway crash you would probably have had it in a car as well. Driver error is the most common cause of crash though, so if people were better drivers in general then it wouldn't matter what you drove.

That's what I thought. But then there's the gear and stuff on a motorbike which could minimize the chances - obviously.. Suppose. Dunno.
It was only last week a friend of mine died in a motorbike accident so it kind of puts you completely against the things :-/

Oh please, if i was in a motorway crash i think my chances of survival would be infinitely greater in a car than on a motorbike.

I thought about buying a bike not long ago. My cousin has a Honda Fireblade. Pillion at 170 without a helmet or leathers is just slightly nervy.

I've always liked bikes but there are practical issues with them. Still, if we have a good summer I might look at getting one.

You got one then Slaveunit? If so what kind?

I actually did change my mind just now and would say the same.
But I like to argue with you too.

I'd say a car is more likely to kill someone. But I just like to argue with you.

Motorbikes, hunny, wake up!

Which?

They can be very practical
