    Wow, I'm so sorry for your loss. That is a very rare occasion for your friend to have passed away on the racetrack like that. I have spent many years on racetracks and very few deaths occur because there are no cars, guardrails, traffic lights etc. It's much, much safer than riding on the streets.

    I know this doesn't make it any easier for you though.

    Again, I'm sorry. I'm sure he was a wonderful person.

    Regards

    It is always more dangerous than driving a car because it lacks of a layer of outer protection.

    Besides, it is lighter in weight so the driver would fly away once being hit.

    Anyway, car is dangerous too :D

    Drivers are dangerous because the bike can not control itself.

    I ride a speed bikes, and it's understandable when you are riding bike on the street that the stakes are a lot, much superior on two wheels than on four. If you are an excellent rider, you will panic for your time, frequently with good motive. The significant thing is to recognize the risk, and how to reduce them. Take the MSF Basic provision Course.

    for me I think the not responsible and careless drivers are the one dangerous, not the motorcycle....

    Motor cycle is a thrilling ride. If you have the spirit and want to live in the fast lane, Motor cycle is the best option. Negligencies can cause accidents not only on motor cycle but even jets can crash.

    Great advice newbie25,

    The best thing a new rider can do is take a Motorcycle Safety Foundation riders course. They will teach you many of the tips that will turn a person into a disciplined, safe rider.

    I highly recommend this for anyone considering getting their first bike

    I recently took motorcycle classes over the weekend. I dumped the bike 7 times, I believe I wasn't strong enough to keep it up everytime we had to do a pause and go. I would always tip it then. Part of it was that I was looking down, but I didn't trust myself not to tip over.

    Glad I took the class though. I can finally ride on my bike.

    I'm scared of motorcycles to be serious. You could die if you get into an accident LOL. >_>
    It's just not safe and I'll never use it :p
