What are the chances that you get hit by road hazard when you ride motorcycle to work

Thinking about riding motor bike to work, but m worried about getting hit by flying tires , trash , …etc. M i worring too much? (mainly freeways)

I been driving for a while now and seen mattress, buckets … all kinds of stuff on freeway… and yes i hit a few from time to time.

if biker gets hit in the face… … … life and death situation.

Well, let’s see…on a recent trip to Las Vegas (2662 miles round trip) I avoided about 1500 pieces of truck tire rubber, 6 dead Armadillos, 3 cats, several car mufflers and a drunken hitchhiker in Albuquerque. I did get whanged on the kneecap by an unidentified piece of metal thrown up by a passing car. Swore I was shot for a minute there and it really felt good when it stopped hurting. No permanent damage…nice bruise, though. Here’s a secret. Don’t tailgate anyone, EVER, when you’re on a bike. Car drivers will straddle obstacles in the road and if you’re following too closely, you don’t have time to react and avoid same. But I agree, I think you worry too much…
