The opinions are mixed about motorcycles in the city (especially Phoenix), because the drivers are so bad....I blame it on the California transplants and another reason azcachemeister and a few others know about. ;) Currently, I go to work when traffic is lightest and head the opposite direction of morning traffic when I go home. I'm hoping those 2 factors would be to my benefit, because traffic is spaced out so well. The downside is, when I'm leaving for work, I risk an increased number of drunk drivers. Believe me, I'm taking these prospects under consideration. I would refuse to ride without a helmet or leathers, without a doubt. It baffles me that there are so many riders who think they're too damn macho for a helmet or any other protection when out on the highways (crotch rocket guys especially). The wind in your hair as you ride I guess has nothing on the wind on your brain, which is what they must be going for. Caching would expand to other parts of the state I haven't visited yet, and to me that's a pretty cool benefit.
