Personally, I thought it would have been much worse. We (riders) are apparently doing well (in m opinion). It just astounded me that anyone would spend infinite time and money to point out the obvious, unless they (or their benefactors) had an ulterior motive. Again, just my opinion.VStar Ladyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13634216576989421497noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1394161184343172403.post-35245217134832789762017-11-23T20:48:23.638-05:002017-11-23T20:48:23.638-05:00Well, if anything over $25,000 in injuries is a fa...Well, if anything over $25,000 in injuries is a fatality why do they insure car drivers for $50,000? Me thinks there is something stinky here ... or is it prejudice? 3 times ... is that even statistically significant? I would have thought it many times more.

Now we need to keep our eyes open for any politician using this headline to drive more stupid, unnecessary laws. Helena Jaczek is one MPP who likes to crusade against motorcyclists, and there are others.Canajunhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17529505799866207528noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1394161184343172403.post-84447614030354511922017-11-22T01:01:25.868-05:002017-11-22T01:01:25.868-05:00Glad you still are alive :)

A blown air bag will cause just about any car to be totaled. <br /><br />There was another study that claimed that additional training didn’t affect the stats. But it was a pretty small sample.

The cars you can get $50,000 PIP coverage, but motorcycles are a maximum of $25,000 PIP. So does that mean they don't think you'll get hurt as bad on a bike, or anything higher than 25,000 in bodily damage is a fatality and not needed? Things that make you go hmmm.Trobairitzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03453398807198746434noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1394161184343172403.post-72045703350680680762017-11-20T22:56:22.685-05:002017-11-20T22:56:22.685-05:00This is what happens when you put non-riders in ch...This is what happens when you put non-riders in charge of studying motorcyclists. They don't understand, instead they just look at numbers, data, statistics, and then report their findings.<br /><br />Last year was just an off year for riding. We were surrounded by forest fires all summer, all the while I was juggling overtime at work, teaching, training, and helping out at headquarters breaking in new bikes. Hoping next year will be better. Glad to see you out of hibernation and blogging again.Troubadourhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10567767701065756330noreply@blogger.com
