LACK OF BASIC RIDING SKILLS

It’s estimated that a third of all riders who lose their lives are not properly authorized or licensed to operate a motorcycle. In addition, many riders are unfamiliar with basic skills like braking and cornering.

MOTORCYCLING

When safety is not the top priority, statistics show that riding a motorcycle can be a dangerous pastime. Motorcycle accidents claim the lives of over 3000 riders each year in the U.S. Data shows that motorcycle riders are 26 times more likely to die in a collision and 5 times more likely to be injured than someone driving an auto. In addition, more than 80% of all reported motorcycle crashes result in injury or death to the rider.
