a bike is way more dangerous than a car
I think there are some who would disagree.
Given the same accident impact damage scenario and replacing the car with the motorcycle, maybe. But then, given a seasoned motorcyclist (which we all are... maybe), you discount the greater ability of the motorcyclist to not be in, or remove themselves from the situation causing the accident. Generally, a car cannot accelerate, brake, or turn as quickly as a motorcycle, and there are fewer blind spots on a bike (if you do a head-check, and we all do head-checks... right?).
With my 2 still at home, I ride to work every day and as often as I can will do a long ride, well, what I consider long (which may not be long to some of you ).
Personally I'd much rather ride... and consider it safer.
and always with a helmet
