Motorcycles are dangerous, they simply must be banned....until you delve further....Boy had no training, experience or protective clothing. Was riding an illegal motorcycle stolen from Hong Kong which had been rebuilt incorrectly and had been dropped and had a bent frame. Also to save money the bike had incorrect sized cheap rear tire and a very worn to slick front tire, and the motorcycle was being ridden in the rain...

With adequate training and experience motorcycling can be very safe, of course this training is very hard to come by in China. Most good Chinese riders I have met have an aware mental state and a history of riding motocross.
No propaganda on this one.No one saying anything bad against motorcycles here nothing in the media.This is just the way it is here.

Possibly the people on here are paranoid against people taking away there right to legally ride a motorcycle in parts of China?

My sister works in the casualty dept of one of the hospitals.She told me.Her husband used to ride a motorcycle no problems now has a car(come another month motorcycles,bikes will be put away for the winter Car you can use all year).

If you think motorcycling is safe even if you have the proper training your kidding yourself.

As my friend says"It's the ones who don't see you and you don't see them that get you"

To many near misses for me luckily I am getting better in old age but I still know it's a dangerous sport/hobby.

All the training in the world is going to do you no good if the other road users don't respect/Look out for you.Doesn't matter which country your in although China is extremely bad for that.

You have an accident on a motorcycle with another vehicle and a very strong chance your going to hospital(some people just don't want to accept that fact) .Have an accident in a car with another vehicle and you are probably going to walk away.
