    I'm 27 and have had two friends killed in motorcycle accidents and know another woman who now has severe brain damage and can barely walk from a motorcycle accident.

    As with driving anything, you can only control what you are driving/riding. When someone pulls in front of you because you are much harder to see, the consequences are far worse than when you're in a car.

    Likewise riding in cold weather, rain, snow, etc.. isn't for everyone.

    Had you began riding a motorcycle in your youth then you may consider it but at this point I would not consider it if I were you.

    If danger bothers you, stick to your car. Most people have a car crash every 8 or 10 years, depending on how much they drive. Most of them result in minor injuries. If you are on a motorcycle you are way more likely to be seriously injured. That said, bikes are more fun.

    Motorcycles would be much more uncomfortable in bad weather - too cold, rain, hail, etc. Plus I don't think you can't really run big errands with them, like grocery shopping, unless you buy a little at a time. If you have occasional long trips, they might be uncomfortable.

    I think a motorcycle and a car is convenient but a motorcycle instead of a car wouldn't be very practical.

    Motorcycle riding is not necessarily dangerous -- neither is riding in a car -- until such time as you have an accident. Either in the form of a fall, hitting a stationary object such as a tree, or colliding with another (usually heavier vehicle). Then, the more material you have around you, the better, since this metal absorbs the energy by denting or caving in. When on a motorcycle, there is little to zero extra metal around you to protect you!
