B line,

I agree with you 100%. My above comment was made strictly tongue in cheek.

Regards,

Bill

Doesn't that make it hard to talk, Bill?

So, if you're over 40, wear your helmet and don't ride fast on twisty rural roads at night. Works for me!

Exactly! As long as you ride slowly and wear a helmet, you will dramatically reduce your chances of serious injury or death.

I WOULD ALSO LIKE TO SEE A BREAKDOWN OF REGULAR BIKES AND SPORT BIKES.

Me too. No doubt that sport bikes get on the rural twisties and end up wrapped around a trees as a statistic. Cruisers must have a lower accident percentage. I'll bet that most cruisers who die, do so after having a car pull out in front of them. When I see some bimbo preparing to pull out into my path, I flash and give a toot. On more than one occasion, I woke the cager up who didn't see me.
