How very sad.

Husband was an avid motorcyclist - he always had one, the bigger and louder the better.

He also took all the safety classes offered by the CHP, was certified to teach those classes as well so he was an expert rider.

I told him I wasn’t worried about him on the bike so much as I was the other drivers out there on the freeways, given what I’ve seen on our Mad Max freeways and streets - speeding, running traffic lights, weaving in and out of traffic and high speeds and more. Why I carry coverage for uninsured drivers on my insurance.

” the bigger and louder the better.”

Those are not the choice of “so he was an expert rider”

Long time ago, I read the Hurt Report, by a UCLA prof who investigated cycleaccidents, and why they occurred.

Findings agree with you. And interesting stats.

I am going to DuckDuck and look for it.
