No it is not safe to drive motorcycles in my town. We’ve had 2 deaths in the last week alone.
Every March people drive through to go to bike week and every year at least 4 or 5 people on motorcycles die. It DOESN’T MATTER how well they drive them, it DOESN’T MATTER WHOSE FAULT it is, in any accident it is the MOTORCYCLIST that will die.

The biggest danger in bikes is the rider. Half of all motorcycle accidents and fatalities happen to riders with less than a year’s experience. But what that really means is that how safe you are is up to you!
The second biggest danger is the idiots in the cars who pull into your lane or pull out in front of you because they don’t see you. The reason they don’t see you is because they don’t LOOK! They are looking for another car and a motorcycle doesn’t register on their little minds. So you learn to watch out for them, to pretend you’re invisible, to EXPECT people to make a left in front of you or pull into your lane. The old saying is: There are rights worth dying for, but the right of way isn’t one of them.
I would say you need at least a helmet, a good jacket and a good pair of gloves. Leather used to be best but these days there are textiles that are equally abrasion-resistant. Gloves are important because if you fall, even a very minor fall, you instinctively put your hands out in front of you and they can get really badly chewed up. The jacket is also to protect you from sliding on the ground. For Summer you can get a ‘mesh jacket’, which lets the air pass right through but supposedly has the same abrasion resistance as leather (I say ‘supposedly’ because I haven’t had the bad fortune to test mine yet.)
Accidents in city traffic are more likely because you have people backing out of driveways without looking, making left turns into your path, etc. The freeway is safer because everyone’s going in the same direction, in his own lane (hopefully) but since the speed is higher what accidents there are are have more serious consequences.
If you’re -just- riding around town, all you need is a scooter. They are easier and safer to ride, and also easier to learn because they mostly have automatic transmissions. A larger scooter, say 150cc, is also good for short trips on the freeway.
Good luck! I hope you enjoy biking as much as I do!

get a jacket a helmet gloves pants get the whole suit bc i had a friend who was goin 17 mph looked back to make sure his shoes werent getting burnt on his exhaust pipes and when he did he jerked his arm just enough to turn the handle bars and laid it down he put his hands down like the guy a couple above me said and it ate his palms off almost to the bone and bc he wasnt wearing his suit it rashed up his arms he was only goin about 2 miles to go visit his mom but thats what can happen hes fine now no lasting injuries just be cafreful people dont care about bikers
