Training is obviously not the solution since with training in place we have stats like these

From 1998-2007:

Injuries have increased 110 percent while motorcycle registrations increased 84 percent.

And almost the exact same percentage of riders were injured in alcohol-related crashes in 2007 (9%) as in 1998 (10%).

Please see this report http://go2.wordpress.com/?id=725X1342&site=wmoo...

After viewing the NHTSA Report DOT HS 811 149 one should wonder why we train people at all.

This is all very good advice, Thank you for posting what everyone who owns, or is considering owning a motorcycle should read. Another issue that should be addressed on this topic is the fact that there are motorcycles everywhere! Especially in this town,with some great rides such as the blue ridge parkway. Not are there the locals who ride, but during the warmer months, especially fall, thousands of visitors flood the area to see these mountians. All I’m sayin is that those who are driving in cars need to be sure to pay close attention when out on the roads. I cant count the number of times that I have nearly been hit or run off of the road simply because people havn’t been paying attention. Yes, people on bikes sometimes do stupid things indeed, but also motorcycles are smaller and harder to see than a car, so just try to be aware that they are out there!

I have a 12 year old grandson who is saving his allowance to buy a motorcycle for when he is old enough to drive one. I made him read this article. Thank you Dr. Thompson!
