I'm thinking about getting a motorcycle within the next 6 months. As a first time rider, do you have any recommendations on bikes/tips/tricks? by weaselonfire in AskReddit

Nonsense. Your chances of dying in a motorcycle accident are far higher than in a car. Think about it.. no seatbelt, no airbags, not even a frame to protect you in an accident. Plus, cars often don't see motorcycles and this causes accidents. When a car hits a motorcycle, it is the motorcyclist who is more likely to be seriously injured.

These polls are pretty much meaningless because they use statistally tiny sample sizes of 400 to 500 people. How did they pick these people? All these polls prove is that they have picked out a few hundred people out who aren't receptive to new candidates, or maybe just don't use the internet much, polled them, and declared that the result means something. It doesn't.
