Re: Yet another rider down (Sat. 7/25)
Number of motorcycle deaths per year, U.S.:
* 19972,116
* 19982,294
* 19992,483
* 20002,897
* 20013,197 (some NHTSA lists show 3,181)
* 20023,244
* 20033,661 (some NHTSA lists show 3,714)
* 20044,008
* 20054,253
* 20064,510
* 20074,854
* 20085,357
Since 1980, motorcycle ownership among riders aged 40 and over has increased dramatically, from 15.1 percent in 1980 to 43.7 percent in 1998. The mean engine displacement of the motorcycles involved in fatal crashes has also increased, from an average engine size of 769cc in 1990, to 959cc in 2001, an increase of 24.7 percent.
This combination of older riders on higher-powered motorcycles is partially responsible for a steady increase in motorcycle deaths from the late 1990s until 2004.
Half of motorcycle fatalities in single vehicle crashes relate to problems negotiating a curve prior to a crashalmost 60 percent of motorcyclist fatalities in single vehicle crashes occur at night.

Heard about this on the news last night, you could hear the woman talking about it snicker when she mentioned the fact he hit the "welcome to virginia beach" sign. I was shocked.
