If you die on your bike chances are it was your fault!

I never think twice about riding motorcycles or flying small planes. I know the danger involved and prepare myself to drive defensively.Bluebaird said:http://www.dol.wa.gov/about/reports/mototaskforce.pdf

So the task force worked from data "compiled from a set of databases kept by state agencies".This task force included members of motorcycle rider groups and state agency representatives, including the public safety agencies, the Department of Transportation, and the Department of Health. The task force adopted the following goal as the primary guide for its work:
Task Force Goal: To determine primary causes for motorcycle collisions and crashes, and provide recommendations that will reduce fatalities or serious injuries.
Executive Summary The task force spent its early meetings reviewing information that had been compiled from a set of databases kept by state agencies. This information formed the basis of the recommendations that emerged from the group.
I've known that for years... What else is new? Very seldom does something happen that you couldn't have seen coming if you're paranoid enough..Bluebaird said:http://www.dol.wa.gov/about/reports/mototaskforce.pdf

No license or endorsment needed to get title or tags :roll:MichMike said:Question for the group - does your state issue license plates to the titled person of the bike when that person does not have a motorcycle endorsement?
I agree. Whatever you think of the stats, one theme runs throughjoe_flash said:I've known that for years... What else is new? Very seldom does something happen that you couldn't have seen coming if you're paranoid enough..Bluebaird said:http://www.dol.wa.gov/about/reports/mototaskforce.pdf
If you die on your bike chances are it was your fault!Of course, sometimes it can be VERY difficult to focus on traffic, and we don't always recognize those times when we probably should be in the cage, whether it be fatigue, stress, or just absent-mindedness.. I've been lucky in a large respect; on the other other hand, the two bike accidents I've had (and the two times i fell down
) were both attributable to not thinking ahead.. When my son got his bike, I told him that controlling the bike properly was only part of the story.. Keeping his head up and out of his ass was the BIGGEST part of riding.. I've been reading the Proficient Motorcycling books over the holidays, and surprisingly enough, that same theme runs through and through the books..
