Riding motorcycles is very dangerous especially on city streets and freeways where traffic is heavy and people don't pay attention. Motorcycles offer very little protection in the event of a crash. Don't get me wrong there fun and exhilarating to ride. Just be sure to be safe with how you do it. Now personally I always wear my helmet and gloves and as long as it’s not too hot, my jacket. I have also made modifications to my bike to improve my over all safety such as a higher grade of tires and brakes to brighter headlights and a flasher module on my brake light but there are endless safety add-on parts and accessories that can help protect you in the long run. Just remember something as simple as how well your shoes can grip the road can help your overall well being.

We all say it won't happen to us... but the sad truth of it is motorcyclist crashes and deaths are very real. This is why we need to always watch out, be responsible and ready for anything.

And of course... not trying to show off and be cool doing stunts and tricks... Showing off and doing tricks are a good way to lose your bike, be injured, or worse be killed or kill another person. There are endless videos on youtube of people trying to be cool and getting hurt or killed. I personally have seen a motorcyclist airlifted off a city street after he was speeding and hit a car.
