I've done about 45,000 miles since I for my first motorcycle. 2 accidents makes that one accident in 22,500 miles, Yours, however, is 1 in 300 miles... kinda lays waste to the "minimize your time on the bike and you won't crash when you do ride it" argument. I expect that the equation only looks worse if you do it hour by hour.
Whaaatever, riding a motorcycle is risky no matter how you slice it. You can play with numbers all day, but you still have a greater chance of being killed/seriously injured than I do, right now. If I get one then it changes for reasons stated above. Ride safe.
