Default Accident statistics

That might be true, but I'm pretty sure my wife thinks I would be on
the losing side of that equation.

I found this:
http://www.bts.gov/publications/nati...ble_02_03.html

According to that site, there were 1,741 GA accidents vs 79,081 for
motorcycles in 2004 (and 4,746,307 for passenger cars). Now we just
need to find points of reference to compare those stats (hours, size of
pool, etc.).
