Now MO Staff Must Lead

JB et al, it's time for the MOrons to forsware alcohol consumption while riding. To a man, the MOridians will follow your example and, of course, the rest of the US motorcycle riders will join us.

The ball's in your court, guys.

Apples and Oranges Again

"...vehicle miles traveled increased slightly to 2.83 trillion, up from 2.78 trillion in 2001" but "sales of new street bikes up more than 100 percent over five years".

Well, "vehicle miles" refers mostly to cars not bikes, while "new street bikes" refers to the increase in sales, not the increase in motorcycle ridership. This post is a mishmash of unrelated numbers, all heat, no light.

Surely the AMA can come up with meaningful numbers for at least the percent increase in bikes on the road. If that number increased by 3% and bike vehicle miles increased with the number of bikes, the 3% fatality increase is about what you'd expect.
