I'm not gonna argue, but do you have any idea how many bikers I've almost hit in all sorts of bikes because they drive like they're on a bike instead of a car (trying to drive in my lane, taking the turns to slow and being an *** when I try to pass, going between cars on the freeway)... You are definitly right though, more accidents do come from car-bike collisions, why said collisions occur is another story "Start seeing Motorcycles" "Start obeying the traffic laws like any other vehicle, ****er"

Sold my 04 R6 a few days ago.

To the guy with the brother on the gixxer, your brother is an idiot, and needs to learn how to ride. My R6 had over 7500 miles on it, I rode it for over a year, it was never laid down.

theres really nothing to argue about.. and you don't ride a motorcycle like you drive a car.. its like saying you drive a 18 wheeler like you drive a car.. 2 different vehicles 2 different ways they have to be driven.

and people turning to slow... you never rode a bike.. you really can't fly through every corner there is. i don't know how many times i've been cut off by people in car on cell phones, people who look dead at you and still try to get in your lane, people who wait till you get 50 ft from them and then turn out in front of you... every group has its bad apples.. don't think everyone is like that.
