That's a hella cope, just admit you like the danger and embrace it.
If you ride, found the Dunning-Kruger person, if not, why comment?
FWIW, I'm retired from that now, but survived a decade or so with barely a scratch and a couple of exhaust burns. Just regular bikes now, and car (for now), mores the pity, but it wasn't the danger, it was the feeling of speed and responsiveness. They suck in traffic, but a windy mountain road? Exhilarating.
Because the concept that there's a sweet spot where motorcycles are danger free is asinine, even if you, the driver make 0 mistakes (as if) you're much more vulnerable on a motorcycle to other people's mistakes.
