I've toyed with the idea of getting one a few time but I just know too many people who know too many people who have died on them.
Actually the first time I was really thinking about learning to ride a week later a 16 year old at my work died on his. He'd only just learned to ride.
A few of the managers in my work have a bike for summer and a car for winter and they're really sensible people who haven't had accidents as far as I'm aware. They are cheap and you can get through traffic quick but I just don't trust other people on the roads enough.

Are you ready for the fire? We are firemen. WE ARE FIREMEN! The heat doesn’t bother us. We live in the heat. We train in the heat. It tells us that we’re ready, we’re at home, we’re where we’re supposed to be. Flames don’t intimidate us. What do we do? We control the flame. We control them. We move the flames where we want to. And then we extinguish them.
Impersonation is treason.
