You shouldn't. No matter how long you want to boast about how much safer motorcycles are today than they were before, the chances of you getting seriously injured while driving one is exponentially higher than that of driving a car.
"You know a lot of people get killed driving cars too." Oh really? I also know HIV/AIDS kill a lot of people too. And tsunamies. And lightning. Your point?

The risk is about 20 times higher on average. So much for your exponential hyperbole
Certainly less for a skilled rider wearing the best protective gear. Of course motorcycles have a higher risk than cars, my point being that many more people are killed and maimed everyday in cars and no-one gives it a second thought. Your comments on HIV etc are irrelevant.
