It would be interesting to know what percentage of each group was riding in what one would term a "responsible" fashion. In other words, what percent of fatalities in each group can be attributed to excessive speed, and/or alcohol, ect... I wonder how many of the super-sport riders were riding sensibly?

I guess it goes back to responsibility. Even as a young adult, it's possible to feel bullet-proof and still have enough sense to know you limits. I know this first-hand, or I'd have died many times, but have been smart enough to stop before going over the cliff.

I didn't ride for much of my life because I believed what I kept saying to my buds for years about why I didn't own a bike, (or a Vette, or whatever other method of rapid transit).

I'm mature enough to realize that I am NOT mature enough to have one.


simple as that.
