Although motorcycle riding is inherently more dangerous than driving a car there are ways to lessen the risk. The most important ways to reduce risk are: proper safety gear, increased riding skills, and being aware of your surroundings. By your description, you are taking all of these measures and are very up to date.
Let your wife know that everything you do in life comes with risk. Crossing a street has risk because you never know if a driver will be distracted. You are doing everything right and then some. If all automobile drivers were as conscientous as you are, there would be less accidents of all types.
