My brother notes that in his town they're unofficially called "donorcycles". Good to keep in mind.
The real danger, of course, is the dang cars that'll kill you. I had an old italian motorcycle in my teen years and by staying away from traffic, never had even a close call. I'm actively looking to buy one in the 125-250cc range just to park in the garage for future use during gasoline scarcity... then I'd look forward to rationing.
The problem with motorcycles is cars.
Greenish, my experiences exactly.
As a young man I owned a motorcycle in a rural area and also never had even a close call. When I moved to the big city, I gave it up because car drivers just didn't pay attention (and this was BEFORE cellphones!).
And I too am shopping for a simple 4-stroke bike to store away till most of the cars are off the streets...
