ride motorcycles, which are far more likely to get you killed, and

Actually the accident fatality rate is about the same for motorcycles and
GA. Since I do both .. I guess it doubles my chance of biting the big one.

Statistically speaking, it would only double your chance if you did
both at the same time? That would take one big GA plane!

Ahh, good, trial by newspaper. Whatever do we need NTSB for? Should
be disbanded.

It reduces your chances of being killed by one or the other.

Only if you do both simultaneously

I have an occasional "Danger Day", where I ride my motorcycle to the
airport, jump in my plane and fly to another airport, then go skydiving
at the destination.

Well that sure makes me feel better. Maybe I'll ride to the airport
tonight and go flying.

I draw the line at jumping out of a still flying airplane.

IF the airplane is flying, but it's still still, I might consider
exiting too.

Not exciting; just a decent headwind.
