Me and my vinal doll with three orfices are moving to Utah.

 

Yeah when it comes to STD's there are two kinds : funny and forever.
example: Hilarious if your buddy gets crabs from the walrus he rode home from the bar... Not so funny if your buddy gets AIDS from a striper in Baltimore (way to stay classy, Maryland)

 

Better Virginia that to go north and die of a heart attack, AIDS or never get born at all.

 

Keep that last thought in mind next time your getting a ******* , if you ever do that is .

 

At least Georgia knows how to deal with irresponsible cagers:

Dealing with Cagers

 

When I click my state, Maine, the map just gets bigger. That's cool.

 

If all I gotta worry about is corporate taxes then I guess I am ok. No matter where you live there is some issue of concern. We live in the country, 10,000 residents in the winter and zillions in the summer. Have numerous lakes all around here. Always something in the local paper.

 

Is that most motorcycle deaths per capita, or most motorcycle deaths per motorcyclist?

If they have a higher percentage of motorcyclists, it makes perfect sense that they would have more per capita motorcycle deaths.

 

Think I'll go on a USA road-trip starting in Sth Carolina -> Utah -> Washington -> Rhode Is -> Colorado -> Arizona finish off in Alaska

 

Neither, it's based on motorcyclists' deaths due to alcohol. It appears, however, that they based it only on the increase in alcohol-related motorcyclist fatalities.

I wanted to dig up something better and more accurate, so I just now ran a FARS query on the most recent data (2009). Of motorcycle operators (not passengers) who died, the following percentages had a BAC of 0.08 g/dL or above:
Washington D.C. - 100% (Of a total of 2)
Delaware - 53.8% (out of 13)
Montana - 50% (out of 10)
Vermont - 42.9% (out of 7)

What was the average for all states plus D.C.? 26.3%
How does Virginia stack up? 36.2% (out of 69)

Again, this means that out of all of Delaware's motorcycle operators who died in traffic accidents in 2009, 53.8% of them had a BAC of 0.08 g/dL or above.

So which states' motorcycle operators are the most sober when they die? (i.e. BAC of 0 at the time of death)
North Dakota - 100% (out of 3)
New Mexico - 81.1% (out of 37)
California - 65.4% (out of 361)
West Virginia - 62.5% (out of 24)

Most likely to have some alcohol in their system? (BAC of anything other than 0 at the time of death)
D.C. - 100% (out of 2)
Montana - 60% (out of 20)
Delaware - 53.8% (out of 13)
Nebraska - 53.8% (out of 13)

Keep in mind that the numbers for "completely sober" and "not completely sober" won't add up to 100% as there are accidents where either a BAC test was not performed on the body, or where the results weren't documented.

I ran a separate query on number of motorcycles involved across the U.S. in accidents where the motorcycle operator died and had a BAC of 0.08 g/dL or more. Of the 950 such accidents in 2009, the results were:
618 (65%) - Single vehicle accidents
288 (30%) - Two vehicles involved (motorcycle plus one other vehicle)
29 (3%) - Three vehicles
12 - Four vehicles
1 - Five, six, and seven vehicles (one each)

To put this in perspective, here's the spread for riders who died and were tested and recorded to be under 0.08 BAC (1,910 crashes):
704 (37%) - Single vehicle accidents
1,063 (56%) - Two vehicles involved (motorcycle plus one other)
101 - Three vehicles
27 - Four vehicles
11 - Five vehicles
1 - Six, seven, eight, and nine vehicles (one each)
