Do you own a motorcycle? Whether you are a novice or experienced rider a road is a dangerous place for a motorcycle rider.

THE DANGERS OF MOTORCYCLE RIDING

Everyone who has ever owned a motorcycle knows that it is a dangerous hobby, but do you truly know the dangers associated with riding? Below is a list of the biggest dangers associated with motorcycle riding:

• No protection from all that is around you
• Can be easily thrown from the bike
• Potholes and road debris pose more threats
• Impaired, reckless, inattentive drivers deadlier than motorcycle riders
• Unprotected from inclement weather
• Gravel, dirt, and mud pose a threat

Riding a motorcycle is hands down one of the most dangerous hobbies you can have in life. It doesn’t mean you should never own a bike or hop on one for a ride. You just need to be even more careful when riding a motorcycle compared to driving a car. There’s less to protect you on a motorcycle than there is when riding in a car, truck, or SUV.
