I'm coming from neither of those angles. If you think of life in terms of lifespan as in total years lived....then you'll get to a time based comparison. Most people don't measure life by kilometers traveled. (here come the iron butters with their wise cracks). Also, an airplane can cover 400-500 miles per hour, that's like 10 miles per minute. I would think a 1 min flight (so many factors, maintenance, take-off, landing, pilot error, weather, chances of survival) has a lot more risk than a 1 min motorcycle ride. But that's looking at the whole thing from a very high level.
