i have seen some people with motorcycle, it seems very convenient to travel with your own motorcycle, but i like the scooter more as it looks more safe and easy to use. although i have seen a lot of motorcycle accidents because of the use motorcycle. but i hope i can have one and but not planning to use in long distance travel but in some places where i know it is safe to travel and not use it in big highways where most of the accidents happen. i don't think we should use motorcycle on high ways that are meant for big trucks and buses. but anyway, it is important though to slow down when using the motorcycle even when you are using in a more safe place road. i want to use for comfort and fun also.

My husband and I had a motorcycle a couple years ago. It was fun but really scary. Most other drivers do not watch out for motorcycles and it is a scary thing being on one. We sold ours because my husband felt it was too dangerous and we did not want to leave our children with no parents. We always wore our helmets though, it is the only thing that would keep you from getting killed. I prefer a scooter, they go slower and I felt more comfortable on it. I am not a speed person though. I like slow and steady. Just be careful! =)

Although a lot of people use motorcycles, I have never thought of having one. I don't think it safe as I see a lot of accidents caused by motorcycles. I gave away my last bike to our school gatekeeper and bought a new electric bike last March. It is very good in quality and very convenient to use. Whenever I ride it, I pay a lot of attention to road security. Take care.

Riding a motorcycle is really easy to use and there are so many people use it as form of transportation is where ever place they wanted to go.But there are many motorcycle accidents happening too and seen on the news so better use it responsibly and properly with proper protection to avoid accidents.

Hi hotsummer, I am a biker, been riding motorcycle since I was thirteen... now I'm thirty seven of age but still loving the ride. True motorcycle is very convenient means to travel... saves you time and money... Average consumption of mc is 30 to 60km/liter. When you have your own bike (scooter or regular motorcycle) be sure to be a defensive driver... We've seen a lot of accidents using motorcycles. Self discipline is important... Know your ride first... Before riding, be sure to check your brakes, tires, lights, oil. And invest on safety gears, helmet, mc jacket with padding's, gloves, elbow, and kneepad, body armour/vest. Be sure to wear them when you drive even a short distance. Watch defensive driving lectures in youtube there are lot of vids there that will help you better educated. Or join group/s and ask for safety driving lectures. And when you are already driving know your limits... God bless and happy motoring...

I hotsummer, all i can say is more power to you..Make sure you wear a helmet, its utterly important that you do...I know some states here dosen't require motorcycle operators nor the passengers to wear one, but I honestly can't see why anyone would even consider riding a motorcycle with one... Just be careful if you do get one....
