This activity is really my favorite for all around fun. And you are on your own schedule. You ride when you want to ride. It’s great to play around on your machine, and get really comfortable in handling it. Another option is to go out, and explore the great outdoors. Finding new trails and sightseeing while off-road is really a great experience and can provide you with hours upon hours of entertainment. Of course, you can go out by yourself and have tons of fun, but if you have a friend with you, it’s way more entertaining, and really a lot safer also. If you have an accident, at least you will have someone to help you out. Many may argue that this activity is too dangerous, but in all reality, it isn’t. With proper knowledge, practice, and safety gear, it is really quite safe. But I won’t argue that it isn’t dangerous; because it is. You must understand, anytime you do anything in life, you are taking a risk. You must be

There is a certain freedom that comes with riding down a long highway at eighty miles per hour on a Harley Davidson. That kind of freedom is something that only a minority of society chooses to indulge in, while another minority looks down upon them and chastises them for their decisions. “All bikers are bad news and the scum of society” they say as they sit in their easy chair reading shakespeare and sipping tea. Even to this day, there is a stigma held against the biker community that they are all just a bunch of trouble makers and beer drinkers that live outside the laws. Being a man who has been around the biker community since I was born, I’m here to share some knowledge and hopefully convince the skeptics that not all bikers are bad news.

State and national motorcycle rights organizations are strong advocates of rider education and motorist awareness. I agree this is an important issue but not enough. The Journal of Trauma conducted a study to investigate motorcycle collisions with animals. Based on the results they concluded, “Deer Motorcycle Crashes (DMC) are a significant public health issue in mid-western states.” A deer darting in front of

3. On the other hand, motorcycle enthusiasts believe increased fatality rates are caused by the increased number of motorcyclists on the roads; however, the number of deaths has grown faster than the number of registered bikes (Wlazelek 1). Motorcycle fatalities have increased even after the increase in the number of bikers was accounted for. Helmets save lives and there is nothing that can change that fact. Riding 65 mph on an open bike with cars and trucks all around is dangerous in itself, so what is it hurting to take a little extra precaution not to end up dead or with severe brain damage. Fatality rates of motorcycle accidents were declining for two decades until the new law was passed and now they have increased dramatically (Berenson 2).

In a research report done by Mayrose about the effects of a mandatory motorcycle helmet law on helmet use, he compared the effects of motorcycle fatalities and injury patterns based on helmet usage. Mayrose found that "[the] District of Columbia, which currently has a primary helmet law, 84.0% of fatally injured riders were wearing a helmet" (Mayrose 429). However, helmet use continued to decrease as the laws became laxer across the states. Helmet usage in states with secondary laws decreased to 32.6%, and in states with no helmet laws usage dropped to 17.5%. These statistics are important

In the popular AMC series “The Walking Dead” fictional character Daryl Dixon uses his mojo to navigate through the zombie apocalypse on a motorcycle. Not surprisingly, actor Norman Reedus, who plays Dixon, is a skilled rider with years of motorcycle riding experience. He once worked at a Harley shop called “Dr. Carl’s Hog Hospital” and currently owns a Harley, two Triumphs, a Honda and a Tiger 800. Reedus’ enthusiasm has even led to the creation of a new AMC motorcycle travel show called “Ride With Norman Reedus,” which takes viewers out on a number of motorcycle road trips to famous locations around the country. But, like everyone else, Reedus was once an anxious newcomer to motorcycling trying to figure out how to learn to ride like a

The 1981 Motorcycle Accidents Cause Factors and Identification of Countermeasures, better known as the Hurt Report has saved countless lives. His 55 point findings produced some startling results such as, helmets significantly reduce the risk of brain injury and death, two-thirds of accidents involving other vehicles were because the other driver did not see the motorcycle and weather conditions played a part in 90 percent of all motorcycle accidents. You can keep yourself safer while riding by making yourself more visible to other drivers with brightly colored clothing, get trained by taking a motorcycle riding class and wear a helmet. Make sure your bike is in good operating order before you ride and follow all driving

Whether you are out shopping or on a date you need to be assured of your bike safety.

Studies have shown that motor vehicle and related crashes are the primary cause of death among Americans, especially those aged 1-34 years old. Contributing to the death toll are alcohol, speed, and other various driver behaviors as well as the kinds of vehicles people drive, and the roads on which they travel. In this context, traffic safety is a major public health issue for all motorized regions of the world [1]. More influentially, crashes involving motorcycles are substantially more severe in terms of injury than those that do not. Statistics show that motorcycles comprise of only 3% of registered vehicle in the US, while only accounting for less than 1% of all vehicle miles traveled [2]. Although the motorcycle presence is miniscule on

All too often you hear reports of a fatality due to a motorcycle accident. It is a common scenario for any accident attorney. Often, these fatalities are caused by negligent drivers, who have a variety of excuses from the sun was in their eyes to the biker hit their blind spot. It is a never ending story and one that is often, quite tragic.

Over the years, many motorcycle accidents have led to death. Some of these accidents could have been prevented with the protection of a helmet in which many lives could have been saved. This document proposes a review of how a helmet can help a motorcyclist or passenger in an accident and why all states should require motorcyclists and passengers to wear helmets. The proposed review will discuss the physical and mental principles behind the causes of wearing and not wearing the helmet and what will change if the law is passed.

Motorcyclists fatalities are common in Ohio. Mostly, unhelmet cyclists are more likely to lose their lives than helmet cyclists. The statistics above in Fig E show clearly the actual true cause of these motorcyclists’ fatalities. In most cases, the number of helmet related fatalities were far lower than unhelmet fatalities.

He or she must have the right skill which will provide you with an aggressive representation. More often, Motorcycle Accident Attorney is motorcyclist himself or personally knows an enthusiast. With that, he understands the safety issues and promotes the well being of his fellow rider.

The most contested issue of motorcycles safety is the helmet debate whether they should be required to wear helmets at all times riding or not to wear one. I do believe helmet’s laws should be reinforced, it should be mandatory to wear a helmet when you drive a motorcycle or even a bicyclist. Helmets should be mandatory for motorcycle drivers to keep them out from less injury risk, protect their faces from the climate control or even from bugs, and could prevent death. It is mandatory people in a car to wear a seat belt, but it is not require for bikers who are completely exposed. In my state safety goes first it is better to be safe than sorry. To the tragedy I lost loved one due to this situation which could off if been prevented only if he was wearing a helmet.

Fatigue diminishes your mental alertness and riding skills, and as many athletes know, fatigue also degrades muscular coordination. Motorists driving in cars need only concern themselves with staying awake and alert. On the other hand, the act of motorcycling itself is physically exhausting. After several hours on a bike, numb hands, tired forearms, neck fatigue, constant wind exposure, and the pressure of the helmet on your head combine together to wear you down. In such a state, the biker is a motorcycle accident waiting to happen. This common cause of motorcycle crashes is avoidable by following these six tips:
