Anyone who rides will tell you motorcycles offer a freedom that is simply unmatched by cars. The mix of speed and maneuverability is a combination that is too tempting to pass up for many Texans.
The tradeoff to the thrill of driving motorcycles are the risks to riders’ safety. Motorcycles have a smaller profile, which means lower visibility to other drivers. Their two wheels have less traction and stability in bad weather conditions. Further, motorcycles offer almost no protection from the road itself and lack the protective cage and frame found in cars, trucks and other automobiles.
