That stuff should be common knowledge for any driver. My guard is constantly up when driving near a motorcycle. It makes me nervous driving behind them if they're acting like idiots or being careless. Motorcyclists that try to start road rages with people are handicapped. I have seen it happen a couple times (minor incidents, nobody died). I mean, even an 1,800lb Smart car outweighs a motorcycle enough to throw them off the road or into oncoming traffic. As for my opinion of safety, I really don't care who's fault it is that the motorcyclist is seriously injured or dies. I just don't want to be the guy on either side of the accident. Car or motorcycle, my fault or not, just no |

Also cars are forget expensive in Europe. Car: Write off: 90 euros/month on most midrange cars Insurance WA: As a new driver, 130 euros/month Road tax: 63 euros/month Fuel (50km round trip, 22 days/month at 20km/l): 93.50 euros/month --- 376.50 euros/month = 422.21 dollars/month Motorcycle: Write-off: 16.67 euros/month Insurance WA: 15.00 euros/month Road tax: 9.67 euros/month Fuel (50km round trip, 22 days/month at 30km/l): 62.34 euros/month --- 103.68 euros/month = 116.27 dollars/month I save: 305.97 dollars/month This is enough to buy a brand new motorcycle every 23 months. Driving a car is 363% more expensive than driving a motorcycle. This is already assuming a really efficient car that drives at 47mpg. |

If I had the space to store a bike, I'd have bought one already instead of saving up for a decent car not only is TheArmyGuy right when he says they're much cheaper than owning a car, but they're liberating and rad af |
