I have owned quite a few bikes (mainly dirtbikes). Recently I sold my bike because just like Phinsup said there are crazy people out there. I will enjoy 2 wheels on the dirt for a while.

damn... that is nuts.. I learned the hard way a couple of times that i have to respect the bike.. both off road and on road. maybe I will still get a ducati like I always wanted but like many said, accidents happen..and we are gettin older.. Yeah the guy probably should not have been speeding.. but perhaps it was his time.. i drive all over the country and see tons of riders.. but in the city is where you see them gettin into trouble all the time.. its nuts.. out on the open road bikes seems less of a hazard.. I guess depending on where you live and you personal experiences you may have a different opinion.. regardless that is a impressive amount of force he put into the back of that truck..

I rode a fair amount. Learned on a Yamaha 600RR then road a CBR 600RR for a few years. Sold my bike to afford goodies for the FD. Bikes are not "unsafe" its the idiot riding one that thinks WOT from every stop sign is ok. The other drivers also. Look at Europe, a huge majority of their drivers are on motorcycles or scooters. Most European drivers look for that bike hidden in their blind spot while American drivers just kinda switch lanes and hope someone isnt there.
