NCHauler and Taken, what you both are really talking about is risk.
Yes motorcycle riding is more risky than towing a trailer. but one can mitigate or lessen the risk factors. For example, I am an ATGATT (all the gear, all the time) motorcycle rider. I ride 8k - 10k miles per year. The gear does not lessen the risk of riding; but it better protects me in the event of an accident.
Towing a trailer involves more risk than just driving a truck or car. There more than can go wrong. Does that mean we shouldn't do it? Heck no! We mitigate that risk by making sure everything is working properly, we are properly hitched up, our tires are properly inflated, etc.
For me, making sure that I am not at or over the limits of my tow vehicle are part of my way of mitigating risk just like watching my turns, preparing for a descent on a long grade mitigate risk.
We all have our own approached to mitigating risk. I am sure that my Army background taught me a lot about mitigating risk.
