One of the reasons i got rid of my motorcycle was that all my riding buddy's sold off theirs and it was un-nerving riding around on my own......i hated when car got right up on my tail at a stop or when they tailed me in heavy traffic.....its totally different when in a large group or even riding with one more bike....at least you have twice the visibility. I luckily never had any "close calls" during my riding days but then again i attribute that to starting off on MX-bikes when i was 11yrs old........and had PLENTY of spills. I personally believe that any person buying a bike now a days should be put through a 1 month course of dirt bike riding before they are taken to the streets.....having the experience on sloppy ground will make any rider better on hard ground....
