More than 2 wheels would keep them from falling over

The Ducati airbag jacket is kind of interesting.

It’s one of those that you have to click on 7 pages, one at a time.

Nothing like a motorcycle passing you at 70mph in a 50mph speed zone around a double yellow line.

In our ER we call them donor cycles but there is often too little left to use...

Wow, that Indian Chief Vintage is a gorgeous retro-modern machine. Not that into the leather tassels and would want to delete those, but make mine Indian Red, lol.

Big rubber bumper, a roll bar and just in case you happen to get swept up in a flash flood...

Harley riders all say that the extreme noise of their bikes is a safety feature (Though why most of them wear the smallest helmet legally mandated, employ the smallest lights possible, and jack their bikes into steering geometries that are insanely unstable, is unclear.).

If noise actually equals safety, then all bikes should be as loud as the F4 Phantom or perhaps a Saturn V rocket engine.

Were we to use a liberal’s mindset, all bikes should be outlawed, because if it saves just one life, it is worth it.

i guess I’m just an old fashioned gal!

Get rid of:

Stupid bike riders on crotch rockets
Idiot car drivers
Crappy roads

That would go a long way towards fewer bike injuries. But there is no way around the physics of a two wheeled vehicle with no outer body (armor). Still, not much compares to riding a nice bike on a nice road with no damn automobiles around. It’s a great feeling.

Here's a motorcycle with an enclosure for added passenger safety, plus the incredible new invention of an additional pair of wheels for lateral stability. I expect these to take the roads by storm.

(Because I live near the socialist utopia of Boulder, which suffers from an overabundance of Smug.)

I shouldn’t even comment, but those bikes are all butt ugly, despite their safety features.

Anyone who’d set two gallons of gas afire and then sit a-straddle of it ain’t right in his head.
