I've been an on and off daily motorcycle driver for nearly 15 years. It's dangerous. I've been in one major accident but was lucky to walk away with just road rash. As any rider will tell you the most dangerous thing is other drivers. I love it, its cheaper, its fun, and I dont mind the risk. Not for everyone though.

I also wanna throw in I have extensive experience riding in both the US and the EU. The EU is exponentially safer I think for 3 reasons. Roundabouts, no right turns on red, and decades of scooter culture training car drivers to be more aware. So if you're in the EU go for it.
