Default Safety: Planes vs Bikes

reply is below.

This document claims there is a motorcycle fatality every 5.6
million vehicle km.


It also claims there is a motorcycle fatality every 11,000 vehicle
hours.


Therefore the average Australian motorcycle goes 495 km per hour.


Can someone explain this to me?


Sure! Well, um, you see ...?
