When you mount your bike in an angry condition over something that occurred, this is a recipe for disaster. You cannot daydream or focus on something negative. Riding a motorcycle under these conditions increases the chance of an accident, collision or whatever you want to refer to the problem that develops.

You should be focused entirely on the road and those around you. This requires complete attention and focus. What hazards are on the road ahead are important. A piece of wood or a pothole must be noticed well before approaching these road hazards.

Turning the corner requires you to look ahead and be prepared for all eventualities, not the harsh words someone said to you earlier in the day. A clear head enables the biker to use as much time as possible to make decisions and to take evasive action if that becomes necessary. Time is needed because braking hard on a motorcycle is more dangerous than in a car. Full hard braking should be avoided if possible, and if you have ample time to react, this type of action can be avoided.

Motorcycle riding does not have to be dangerous. It is somewhat more dangerous than riding in a car. Statistics are not needed to point this out, only the fact that you are on 2 tires as opposed to 4 of them.
