Anyone here ride a Motor Bike?

Hello!

Sorry if this isn't in the correct place. I wanted to get peoples opinion on Motor Bikes. I love the idea of them but my parents and my Grandparents would be having a panic attack each time I go out for a ride. My uncle used to love he's bikes but he is no longer able to ride. He has fallen off a few times in the past so everyone is aware of the dangers, he was almost killed about 13 years ago due to an oil spill.

I just love the idea of the freedom of a motor bike. the solitude of it rather than a car that has always seemed as a vehicle to do chores in!

Do any of you ride? What are your thoughts? How do you stay safe from other Motorists?

The idea of driving does fill me full of fear and anxiety but it's something I need to do some day. either a car or a bike that sense of independence, freedom.

Thank you for any advice!

    That does sound scary. I've read about all the deaths and injuries and so on. It does knock my confidence a little. Maybe it's one of those moments where the Parents know best. A big bike that can command the road like a car would be pretty cool. 

    I'll continue to look into it. I live in a quite area and doesn't get very busy. Maybe I should get a car first and then think about getting a bike a little further into the future.

    I'm not a reckless person and I don't take silly risks when it comes to the road. Rather get home alive and late! But it is the other motorists that scare me.

    Thank you for your input though.
