Motor-Biking
About :
Motorcycling is riding a motorcycle.
For most people in the world,
motorcycling is the only affordable form of
individual motorized transportation, and small
displacement motorcycles are the most common motor
vehicle in the most populous countries
of the world, including India, China and Indonesia
Reasons for riding
For most riders, a motorcycle is a cheaper and more convenient form of transportation which causes less commuter congestion within cities and has less environmental impact than automobile ownership. Others ride as a way to relieve stress and to "clear their minds".
Speed Appeals
Speed draws many people to motorcycling because the power-to-weight ratios of even low-power motorcycles is in league with that of an expensive sports car. The power-to-weight ratio of many modestly priced sport bikes is well beyond any mass-market automobile and rivals that of supercars for a fraction of the price.
Safety
The relative risk of a motorcycle rider being killed or seriously injured per kilometre travelled was around 54 times higher in Great Britain in 2006 than for car drivers. United States Department of Transportation data for 2005 from the Fatality Analysis Reporting System show that for passenger cars, 18.62 fatal crashes occur per 100,000 registered vehicles.
