I'll be honest, this will be skewed heavily by most motorcycles are not designed for two or more people

And most motorcyclists know that, and NEVER have any passengers, which self-selects for the risk takers heavily.

Also heavily skewed by the fact that most motorcycle deaths are not caused by the driver, but by other road users not looking, and doing stupid shit like taking a turn blind at 50mph then running the motorcyclist over.

I've been riding motorcycles Since I was 12. I'm in my 50's. I've never had a road accident, despite having ridden crotch rockets for a few years. I've had a few dirt ones, but without major breakage.

I have very rarely carried someone, especially because many passengers will intuitively counteract your leanings.

I'm now considering quitting, because I'm aware that I don't have the reflexes or 360° degree awareness I used to have.

A lot of people shouldn't be riding, they have a car mentality.
