THIS! Riding a motorcycle will also teach you really quick that skills aren't everything. Luck is a big part of it, and I've learned this many times when I started riding. It also seems that those that are killed in cars and bikes are either cocky macho wannabe dudes, or squiddy teens that don't know how to ride.
It's sad..
