I will never own a bike, I've just heard of and seen way too many horrible accidents with motorcycles. I heard about a guy who was driving on the freeway, and a motorcycle flew past him doing about 90. A couple seconds later, he felt something rear end him. He pulled over, and realized that a second motorcycle had gotten stuck under his car, and the guy died trapped under the car.
Also, I saw a bike wreck in Dayton when I was working out there. The guy had to be careflighted, because he had to stop quickly, lost control, and slammed into the median at about 40. I guess his arm bone was poking through the skin, or maybe his leg. I didn't see him, but I heard from people I worked with that saw him.
