Statistically, motorcycle accidents are always highest in the spring when all the casual riders are going through retraining. Also, I suspect people in cars are also less familiar with seeing bikes on the road. We all know how invisible we seem to be to them. I read a report online some years ago that, as I recall, was called the Hurt Report, that went through all the statistics for motorcycle accidents. Interesting reading.
