If you are saying the reason you don't ride is because some component of your safety is out of your control then you'd be correct.
I am saying that the rider is the largest factor in whether or not you have a motorcycle accident. People seem to think that mistakes by car drivers are the main reason riders get into accidents and that's just not true.
That doesn't mean that riding can be 100% safe or that if you get proper training, wear proper safety gear, and ride intelligently that you won't get hurt in accident. It just means that you can drastically reduce your risk by doing so.
