There are many risks riding a motorcycle, but sadly, most of these risks come from other drivers, not nessisarily you.
Be vigilant. Always know where everyone is around you. You will be able to react much faster if you anticipate what the drivers around you are about to do. Expect the worst, pray for the best.
Always have an exit strategy. If something happens, you need to know immediatly that you are able to switch lanes, go on the shoulder, something. NEVER ride right next to the car beside you. You are most likely in their blind spot.
Always keep enough space in front of your bike. It allows you to anticipate where potholes are, and gives you more time to react to them.
When you start to brake, brake slowly. Cars will never be able to stop as quickly as you can. Try to match the car in front of you.
Those stunts are cool, on TV. Never take any of that to the street. Hopefully, you will be caught by the cops before you end up in the hospital, ending your life as a vegetable.
Use the right equipment. You need a mesh or leather jacket, a good set of riding gloves, steel-toed or riding specific boots, a pair of jeans or riding specific pants, and most importantly, a helmet. I had a friend die in a motorcycle accident, and he would have survived if he had only had a helmet. And get a good helmet, expect to spend atleast $200 on a NEW helmet, never used.
If you are a beginner, it is recommended to ride a smaller bike, then work your way up. A good bike to ride when you are first starting out is a Kawasaki Ninja 250cc. They are very nimble, very forgiving. This is what I started out on, and that bike has taught me more than any class could. However, it is recommened also that you take the Motorcycle Safety Foundation class in your respective state.
