Something that keeps coming to my mind lately on this subject is the rise in popularity of “stunting” and the coinciding increase in fatality/accident rates. I don’t have any emperical evidence that says this is goes hand in hand, but it’s hard to ignore.

Seems only a couple of years ago I could be reasonably sure I wouldn’t see some idiot on a GSXR 1000 (first bike of course) popping wheelies like it’s the preferred riding position. Now it’s the norm and I know not everyone’s coming down from front-wheel-up to a safe landing. Plus it just seems to fit into a particular riding style that’s not suited for the street.

So when do we get to start seeing some public education spots like Great Britain and Aust/New Zealand are running with regularity? Yes, we must be responsible, but ask Ben Rothlesburger how much responsibility would have helped him. Just about as much as it would have helped me this evening as I avoided some woman doing a leftie in front of me, like I was never even there. This country has to start doing something to wake up the “cagers”!!!!!
