Absolutely terrible use of statistics Greg
Terrible use of statistics pal..Apples vs oranges big time.. A better statistic would be accident/number of riders. Or compare the increas in the number of accidents with the increase in the number of riders or the number of motorcycles registered. The number of motorcycles sold isn't broken down by replacement bikes vs first bikes... Let see if can break down your argument with an example. In a town called Gray Pony Tail there are were 5 motorcycles sold this year vs 1 sold last year. The accidents were 4 this year vs 3 last year. Using your logic. There was a 33% in accidents vs a 500% increase in motorcycles sold.. Seems like that number of accidents per motorcycles sold says things are better. But actually there are only 7 motorcycles in the town of Gray Pony tail this year. The 5 sold this year were replacement bikes and the 1 sold last year was a new bike. Given the rest of the story GPT had an accident rate of 4/7 = 57% this year vs 3/6 or 50% last year. Do you see how your use of bikes sold is totally bogus i.e wrong i.e really poor
