There are lots of things that are a hazard to bikers.
I got hit in the forehead once by a large beetle doing about 70.
It almost knocked me off my bike.

Rocks from haul truck and rocks coming from dually tires are not great either. Have you ever come across those africanized bees. When you see a swarm find some place else to be.

Tempe officer killed by suspect hijacking motorcycle rider:
About Lieutenant Bradshaw: Lieutenant John Bradshaw was shot and killed while responding to a call for assistance from another officer. The officer's weapon had been stolen by an inmate he was transporting to the hospital. During the incident, the suspect then took a passing motorcycle operator hostage and fled the scene. Lieutenant Bradshaw stopped up the road from the suspect and waited for his arrival at Hohokam Highway and University Drive. When the suspect saw Lt. Bradshaw’s patrol car, he fired one shot which struck Lt. Bradshaw in the chest. At the time of the incident, Lt. Bradshaw had served with the Tempe Police Department for 20 years. He was survived by his wife and four children.
The suspect was still handcuffed when he took that shot on a moving mc.

He was later taken out by DPS on the 17. The hijacked operator almost bought a load of 12 guage before the chasing units rolled up and said he was innocent.

When I carried I carried IWB. Mostly because I figure it's easier to get away in a bike than try to balance the bike while drawing, aiming, and shooting. Plus, its IWB in a heavy jacket.

Another thing to consider is will your gloved finger fit in the trigger guard without firing. Also, I was considering that you would need to start practicing left-handed drawing and shooting. A Safariland holster with retention on the left hip would be required. Then some Hornady Critical Duty ammo.
