Driving a motorcycle is one of the fastest and most intriguing ways to get around the streets of Brooklyn. However, riding a motorcycle down Grand Street or other streets in Brooklyn can also be quite dangerous. Because of the busy roads and streets, you run the risk of running into a passerby or getting knocked off the road by a distracted car, SUV or truck driver.
Whenever a motorcycle accident occurs, it usually results in damning consequences for the cyclist - ranging from high medical expenses to irreparable damage to the motorbike, or yourself.
