safety courses would have been worthless in this incident. I love bikes, have been riding since I was a very young kid. In high school had a 650 yamaha street bike and it was great around the country. But once I went to college in LA I only rode it for a year before I learned it was just too dangerous around LA. Far too many near misses where somebody simply doesn't see you. I got rid of it. I would only have one again if I had a trailer to take it out to the country for a nice drive. Sure there are no guarantees in life but around LA freeways and streets the risk / reward just doesn't seem worth it.
