yea people don't seem to realize how dangerous it is, a 140 bike does like 80-90k's, imagine jumping out of a car a 80k's, that's what it's like crashing a bike at that speed, well maybe not as bad cuz of the momentum you have with the bike but still. You could have heaps of high speed violent crashes and come away with only a couple cuts and bruises every time but then one you could have one low speed crash that looks like nothing and end up in a wheelchair for life.

Yeh good point,
Bikes have no protection what so ever
Your relying completely on your gear to protect you
If anything the bike acts as a hazard cause it can land ontop of you etc...
