Commuting with a motorcycle

How is it to commute exclusively with a motorcycle within the greater OKC Metro? I have a friend moving here from Stillwater and she plans on selling her car and buying a motorcycle before she moves. We were curious how easy it will be to get groceries, get around in the rain or get her dog to the vet in case of emergency. I was also curious about how safe it was. I was reading that OKC was ranked most dangerous for bikes in 2019 and that many of the laws are written to blame motorcyclists (no filtering so it's your fault if you avoid getting crushed from behind and get hit from the side). She was scared to drive my Kia Soul when we went on a trip last month so our friend group was surprised by this decision and very worried overall. If anyone has any statistics or even words of wisdom that would help alleviate the stress they would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance! We want to be supportive but this has been ringing alarm bells 😭 I think she's just excited because she thinks that she'll look cool but we just want her to be safe
