Any information on motorcycle statistics is helpful, same with cars, thanks!
Roughly the same as those you get when you compare horses to mass transit. To make an honest comparison of anything you have to only have one element on each aside of the equation. Adding variables screws up the math.
Motorcycle fatalities have doubled in the last nine years. See this statement in the second URL below. Like other road users who are urged to protect themselves from injury or death by wearing safety belts, driving unimpaired, and observing traffic rules, many motorcycle deaths could be prevented if motorcyclists would take responsibility for ensuring they have done everything possible to make the ride safe by taking operator training, wearing protective gear, and riding sober. Law or not, not wearing a helmet and other safety gear in not be a responsible operator of a motor vehicle. My riding jacket and boots helped to protect my shoulder, arm, and toes in my one and only road crash. My knee is still healing from a case of road rash due to not wearing riding pants. That was about 3-1/2 weeks ago. See third URL below for this statement. In 2006 motorcycle helmets saved 1,658 lives. NHTSA says that if all motorcyclists had worn helmets, 752 more lives would have been saved. Helmets are estimated to be 37 percent effective in preventing fatal injuries. Hope this will useful to you. Max
ok balancing your tires are exactly what it says. it prevents damage on tires due to uneven. what they do is add weights to your tires to balance them out and you need to do it when you do tire rotations because tires go uneven over time.
Good answers from others. When you buy a tire, it goes on a certain rim. That rim has a unique signature. So when the tire goes on, it will run true only a certain way. By adding weights to it in strategic places, that tire matched with that rim will run true. That is what you want. So every time a tire is replaced on a rim, it must be balanced.
