OK, stats they give don't make sense according to ALL other studies done (Hurt Report, et. al.)

2006, Florida had 119 Fatalities, of those, 109 were due to "CARELESS AND RECKLESS BEHAVIOUR AND SPEEDING AT UP TO THREE TIMES THE SPEED LIMIT". This didn't count any fatalities investigated by County and Local Law-Enforcement. (?!?)

I don't get it; every other study shows that something like 80% of all fatal Moto-crashes happen between 25mph and 40mph, with half of those being the fault of a left-hand turning automobile violating the moto's right-of-way. And over HALF of the single-vehicle fatalities are due to alcohol-inhibited riding.

(keep in mind that other 20% is divided between BELOW 25mph [parking lot speed] and ABOVE 40mph)

Even new (Euro) studies still bear-out the evidence in the Hurt Report.

Did they somehow suspend the Law of Averages in Florida? The other ten of this 119 total, were they the only motorcyclists "minding their own business" and not actively terrorizing humanity at-large?

Yeah, I know: Lies. Damn Lies. Statistics.

F'em. Especially this talking head, Carlos Lopez-Canterra. He's probably one of the most-violently-opposed to lifting the U.S. Trade-Embargo on Cuba, too.

This is the same mealy-mouthed little fock I posted about back in October. He's pissed about stuntaz; I don't know if one dissed him on the road, or maybe his daughter is dating one. Maybe it's just seeing riders out enjoying life and his wife won't let him have a bike.
Or mebbe the entire crew of The Starboyz is doin' his daughter, with the Metal Militia takin' turns on his Ol' Lady.........

When I emailed him in October, he assured me that his initial legislation would be carefully restructured to ensure that motorcyclists weren't singled out for speeding violations. That was clearly a lie, all he did was change the threashold for seizure from 30 mph over to 5X the limit.
Imagine that: a Politician that's a Liar! Didn't see that one coming........

Could he have written a script of cliches better than his little speech? "If it saves only one life...blah blah blah." I'm going to email him again tomorrow and remind him of his earlier committment to fairness. I'm sure he'll realize his mistake and rethink his legislation.
Yes, and mebbe Hillarity won't pull our Troops out of the Mideast like the Starboyz caught in the Middle of this guy's Daughter in the backseat of her 'rents car layin' atop the Ol' Man's best coat on a Schoolnite.......

But, it could happen.

(sorry Ken, that was so good, I had to break it up into three parts, just so I'd know exactly which inflammatory statement got me banned)
