    idk if that's true, but I know from Bret Tkacs videos that something like 80% of motorcycle crashes are single-vehicle incidents ie high siding or hitting a wall. Bikes just have a lot less room for error than cars, full stop.

    nope, see my correction below

        I actually remembered the stats completely backwards. Here's the relevant quote from the Hurt Report

        Approximately three-fourths of these motorcycle accidents involved collision with another vehicle, which was most usually a passenger automobile.

        Approximately one-fourth of these motorcycle accidents were single vehicle accidents involving the motorcycle colliding with the roadway or some fixed object in the environment.
