IF you get a motor, take the
Motorcycle Safety Foundation (MSF, aka MOST) course! Even if you used to ride years ago, it's a great idea to take a refresher course!

A 30mph crash is a 30mph crash, regardless if it's a bike, scooter or motor. Wear proper protection, always.
If you're wearing motorcycle boots, DOT+SNELL helmet, plus body armor (at least the jacket and jeans), there's no way you can say a bicycle is safer. I've gone down twice on my motorcycle and have had far worse wrecks on my mtb. Haven't gone down on my roadie yet.
