Re: Top 3 factors in Motorcycle Traffic Fatalities

Good job on this article. I just completed a 2 weekend MSF course and think that it was an eye opener for those who took it with me. I had ridden before and took this course with my wife to get my endorsement again. Some of the people in my class already bought a bike and were thinking it was a no brainer. Of the 12 people in my group, only 4 passed (me included). The course discuses alcohol abuse, speeding and of course stresses safety.
Even if you have ridden before and then come back to biking, it is a good idea to take this program. It will open your eyes to how unprepared you might be to be on the rode. By the way ... beer is the most likely alcohol to be involved in a bikers accident, not mixed drinks or wine or whiskey. So be careful at those summer picnics!
