In both the MSF spring meeting two years ago and last week's MMSAC meeting, I sort of felt like a lot of information was being touched on without being...
Having been involved in all kinds of training for almost 40 years, I'm not convinced that the statement is absurd. There is training and there is training;...
... think ... Hi Kathy, If this is a "sport," we're sure training a lot of people who are totally incapable of participating. At best, I think street riding is...
So you think that the ERC should be taught on a track? You say that you were on a road course and you failed because you didn't go fast enough. What does going...
I didn't say that I think the ERC should be taught on a track. I said I took two experienced rider classes that were on tracks. I said I took one ERC here on a...
... So, have you got stats to back up that absolute certainty? Sounds more like that "common knowledge" thing Jed was ridiculing at the last meeting. I,...
This brings up another thought I have heard in the training community. The idea is that as riders' skills increase, so does their speed. It's the old, "The...

... Some of us don't want to risk our necks on a bike in rush hour Tom. I'm guessing there are very few die hards willing to put up with the bonehead drivers...

I don't have any hard data to support it. No one does to my knowledge. But that old devil common sense tells it's so. Between 1997 and 2004, rider fatalities...
... was ... Hi Tom, I am not a statistician. The "rates" that you refer to above even out after six months. However, a better way to look at the statistics ...
Hi Tom, I do believe most consider motorcycling a sport vs. transportation. If you were to poll the members here, I suspect very few commute to and from work,...
Actually Pat, CSS trained all MMSC students from 1997 through 2002. CSS students are therefore included in your figures ... at least until 2003. This is...
I'm sorry Tom ... I didn't hear Jed's comment. I can tell you that I have had Progressive insurance on my bikes for 10 years. When I first started, I asked...
Hi Paul, Long time no talk ...:-) I tend to agree with you. ABATE, MMRA, and some others are very organized and up on the most recent issues, whether that be...
Guess I should have read your post Ian before responding to Tom's. We are in agreement. Oh, and your 16-year-old is a great teenager, and one who comes...

Good conversation everyone. Just because people can get a motorcycle and a license to operate it doesn't mean they should. There are plenty of inattentive car...
Actually, I commute 3-4k miles per year and consider it safer than riding on the track or a large group sportbike ride! I know from personal observation that...
Ian, I'm not a statistician, either. But I don't interpret the MSF chart the way you read it. Maybe. The way it reads is that the "trained" riders began as...
I agree on the group rides. I don't like being anywhere near groups on motorcycles on public highways. I've come upon some really nasty looking stuff with a...
Pat and I started teaching the RSS the same year, graduating from the same class, in fact. I THINK we graduated in spring of 1996, which I also think was the...

Almost ALL of my riding is commuting back and forth from Chanhassen to Best Buy Corp. now. No more group rides, although I never did many to begin with, and...
