There is something about riding a motorcycle that draws many people to travel via two wheels instead of four. Whether it be the freedom of not being trapped in a car or just having the wind hitting your face, the popularity of motorcycles continues to grow.

In addition, a motorcycle navigating the roads with other vehicles can often be deadly.
