And every day I work i hear the fire department responding to vehicle vs motorcycle.

Thoughts?
I rode until I was about 26 years old, lost my left leg in an accident that was my fault, and never road again. I spent six months in the hospital, sixteen operations, and 3 1/2 years on crutches. They are lots of fun and as I mentioned the accident was my fault. All the same your body is out there exposed and lots of people don't pay attention to bikes. Life is a risk but you don't need to add to it unnecessarily.
