Motorcycles are dangerous. You should get training, buy gear and drive defensively. Most accidents are caused by incompetent cagers but since they outnumbers us 100 to 1 nothing will ever be done about them.

Can I have the $2.8million now?

The study is a 300 bike profile. There are 6 million registered motorcycles on the streets of the US. At a minimum they should sample 1% of the total for the accident survey. Like I said before- expect rates to increase even if they figure out that riders aren't the at-fault party.

Wow. That's an awfully small sample. There must be >1M motorcycle accidents in the US every year.

That takes $28 million?

Just think how much money the health care 'reform' is going to save! There will be plenty of money for everythig after that.
