I'll grant that I'm not average, but consider how many people ride motorcycles.

That's an interesting point. We should do a poll based on the car crash safety test :
What is the minimum car crash safety you will accept in a car?
5 Stars - Highest
4
3
2
1
0 Stars - Lowest (Motorcycle)
Assuming a motorcycle (or any two wheeled vehicle) is "0", I wonder how many people are driving *only* a motorocycle? What I mean is, if a person drives a 5-star rated car 50% of their miles, and a motorcycle the other 50% of their miles, I think they would be accepting a "2.5" star crash rating, because that is the degree to which they are exposing themselves to danger.
