You hit it on the nose.People can now afford that big Harley they always wanted or some kid gets a Hayabusa for his first bike.
The old dude is going to learn how to control a big bike, in any situation, on the freeways and the kid will be going 60 between stopped or barely moving, bumper to bumper traffic on the same freeway.

Most accidents happen because SOMEONE did something stupid.

[Most accidents happen because SOMEONE did something stupid.]

You are exactly right. Unfortunately, SOMEONE doing SOMETHING stupid is an all-to-common part of the human condition.

Have you ever worked for a company whose stated goal was to have a “zero” accident rate instead of a “reasonable” accident rate? That’s enough to drive you crazy!
