Homicidal and Suicidal cagers aside, we can add:
Drinking and Riding
Inexperience
Inattentiveness
Hey, that is all the same things that cause car accidents, only with higher stakes.
With only two exceptions every motorcycle incident and close call I’ve had were due to my own inattention or lack of observation. Of course I include many close calls that were caused by assuming a cager knew or cared that I was there.
I have found that riding a motorcycle makes me a much more observant driver as well.
We all like to think of ourselves as rugged individualists. But when push comes to shove most of us are sheep who do what we are told. Worst of all, a lot of us become unpaid agents of whoever is controlling the agenda by enforcing the current dogma on the few rugged individualists who actually exist.
