Plus you have a lot less protection around you i.e. no steel between you and much larger vehicles so what might be a minor “fender-bender” in a car or truck could cause life threatening injuries on a motorcycle. And finally road conditions i.e. potholes, wet roads, black-ice, oil spills, etc. can easily cause you to become airborne and end up with a bad case of “road rash” or worse.
