The Dynamics Of Motorcycle Crashes – 2020

[RocketMan]

I completed this survey last fall. You had to have had a crash within the previous 10 years.

Looking forward to reading the full 124-page report.

Modern day Hurt Report? Maybe. Hopefully it will help improve road safety for everyone.

for me it used to be because I was young and reckless, lately its because I'm old and reckless, I guess some things never change.

I saw it mentioned in a tweet in June.

I passed it on to a bunch of riding friends and thought I posted it here but don't see that now.

Would have been beneficial to have had more N. American input as it seems heavily slanted to European respondents.

Possibly useful info nonetheless.

In the age of distracted driving, I wouldn't be surprised if it has not been supplanted by the motorcyclist's striking a vehicle in the rear...

They don't often end like this one...

More often like this...

Sometimes not our fault...

Distracted drivers are as ubiquitous at fly dung. Bringing in a little ST content to the discussion, this clown might be next...
