You hear a lot about close calls and danger when looking at motorcycles from the outside. I’m looking at motorcycles now for the first time, and my wife is concerned. As I just want a chill cruiser, I thought maybe some perspective from actual riders might help with the perceived danger. What do you guys think? Do you have any stories or opinions? Anyone experience any accidents that armor/air vests came in clutch? I appreciate any insight you guys may have!

    As long as you drive responsibly and with the attitude that everyone else out there are probably trying to kill you, you’ll be fine.

    The second part depends greatly on your region.

    Remember to dress for the slide not for the ride ;)
