if you read those studies the most common is the motorcycle runs off the road due to rider error. next most common, a left turning car pulls out in front of the bike.
i saw another with some expert and average riders where they gradually got them drunk and ran them around a test course. they found that their performance decreased measurably after even one or two beers. a lot of people think that they ride better after a low to moderate amount of drinking

My buddy told me that he drove his bike around Kansas for 10 years and never once got pulled over. Said the cops pretty much ignore bikes.

some bikes when they see you they are just looking for a reason. I think they are likely ignore cruisers for normal traffic stuff, but more likely to scrutinize cruisers other times. (bar closing time)
