So I got an inkling for how lethal motorcycles were vs cages for my helmet thread.
Bikes about 10x more.
Odd- motorcycles are federal and state certified to be completely road legal, and yet they have 10x the propensity to kill the driver. My old cars aren't 10x worse than new ones; not by a loooong shot, yet they are "bad". As a biker, should I feel .10 as nervous/vigilant/careful/proficient when I jump in my cage? But most importantly, why would a "safety agency" give the green light to a legal street vehicle class that is 10x more lethal than another street legal class, but insist that the 10x SAFER class be saddled with ever more mandated safety equipment while the far more dangerous class is mandated with... nothing. What up wid dat?
