Are Guns are killers too?
Motorcycles don't kill people... PEOPLE kill people. I've crashed at well over 100 MPH three times in the past year and a half. If I crashed even once, at anything near 100 MPH, while wearing chaps, boots, vest and 1/2 helmet, what would the outcome have been? If I had survived this hypothetical "cruiser" crash (highly doubtful), how would the medical bills have compared to my THREE roadracing crashes (under $1,500 total)? Nobody knows the EXACT answer to these questions, but simple logic tells us that MEDICAL bills are going to be HIGHER when you are wearing LESS protective gear.
