To live a long and full life as a motorcycle rider, one needs to take more precautions while traveling than the average occupant of any closed vehicle. The downside of that increased freedom is increased vulnerability.
A driver's carelessness is often the cause of a motorcycle accident. With distractions like radios, CDs, DVDs, and cell phones, not to mention passengers and animals in the car, a driver may turn or change lanes without ever seeing you. So to take care of yourself, you need to be attentive enough for two.
Most bike riders take good care of their machine and keep it roadworthy. But road conditions can often pose a hazard and sometimes a greater hazard considering a bike's increased ability to accelerate and brake more quickly than a vehicle. Debris on the road, pot holes and puddles of unknown depth can be more dangerous if you are gathering speed quickly, or braking hard.
