I was very concerned about the same thing. These large organized tours expose the car drivers to bikers. Most do not want to cause harm. (there is always an occasional a**) I am much more concerned about a solo ride, on winding country roads, and some car driver is trying to set a speed record.
I hear many more accidents from solo bikers than car to bike accidents on tours.
But perhaps "jppe" or "DnvrFox" have statistics on that? My opinion is just anecdotal observation.
