    I would totally ride a motorcycle if I wasn’t surrounded by people on their cell phones not staying in their lane.

      The bigger danger is people not looking or their brain not working and pulling out directly infront of you.

      Unless you live in America, then the biggest dangers by far, accounting for >3/4 accidents are drinking and riding or going into a turn too fast for conditions and eating shit.

      Here in vietnam, its probably people with a phone in their hand riding into the back of stuff, then alcohol.

      In Cambodia its probably people with shit tires and no helmet lowsiding and getting squished by an oncoming truck or banging their heads.

      I’ve been bumped by people doing the no-look-lane change once hard enough to deform my foot peg, as long as you have grip, there is a lot of force trying to keep a moving bike upright.
