Many Reports on This - Motorcycle Deaths Declined 25% in Calfiornia

Compared to the same time in 2008, motorcycle deaths in California dropped significantly. I would say this is primarily due to the sad-sack economy; people just don't have money to ride as much. They probably only commute on them. Plus, there is the fact that insurance has increased in price while everything else went down, including income. And, the government has not fixed the loophole whereby insurance companies can deny coverage to people injured in motorcycle accidents, skiing, surfing, horseback riding, bicycling, etc. Maybe we all need to ride more often just to clear our heads...I really hope that this is not a fluke and is a real trend. Maybe - just maybe - people are getting trained and holding their racing and stunting at the proper venues. Possibly even wearing proper safety gear - now that would be a better world for us.
