Its not a Harley.

You don't get killed as dead when you ride a Harley?

Thats a mighty long walk from the bike to the body bag (presuming the cops in the distance are next to the body). That picture has Rice Rocket Boy-Racer wannabe written all over it.

Most Harley riders I know have matured and outgrown the need to scare the snot out of themselves on a wheeled rocket. Its a different demographic.

A Novice rider on a Harley is still a novice rider; riding skill sets have to be learned through training and repetition. Its reasonable to assume you'll see significantly less examples of Harley Davidsons like the motorcycle in your picture simply because they don't appeal riders willing to engage in that form of risky riding style. The available accident data bears that out; big touring bikes tend to be underrepresented in the aggregate accident data.
