Factors that Increase and Decrease Motorcyclist Crash Risk

[ByeSpyder]

And how would that increase or decrease risk of a crash?

Someone who wears protective gear when they ride is most likely to observe the other safe riding procedures. They are also more likely to have a better maintained ride and not take chances along the way.

I believe that can be a valid assumption. :agree: :thumbup:

I'll summarize: If you need to read how to be safe, you probably shouldn't be riding.

And while you're at it: you probably should also be wearing a condom, a life vest, and your rain boots! :roflblack:

I've known several people to have tipped over while parked. Is that considered riding or not riding?

That's called a "Comedy of errors"!
