Uhf- tell me about it! Did you know splitting lanes on the freeway is actually safer than being in a lane during stop-and-go? It's because all these inattentive drivers only see the car in front of you and wind up rear-ending you!
I think motorcycles have 30x the fatalities per mile as cars, and about 20x when equipped with ABS so if I do ever get one it'll have ABS. I'd LOVE to have a motorcycle. My GF used to be into it, too. Drivers in my town suck though, so it's just too much risk for the reward. I still get the itch sometimes though. I'd love an S1000, YZF or an enduro bike, and she wants a Ducati Monster.
