As we are standing in the motorcycle junk yard looking at all the wrecked bikes with paper plates on them, I tell all of my newbies that the motorcycle is the safest vehicle on the road right up to the point of impact.
33 years and 20-25K miles a year on a bike, and have never had an impact yet. The secret is never putting yourself into a spot you can't ride out of.
Believe it or not, the most comprehensive motorcycle accident analysis report ever done has all the stats. Stupidity is #1's one thru 25. #26 is gunshot wound from drive by. As luck would have it, the government funded study was named for it's author.
The Hurt Report. Google it, it's good reading.
