Howdo,The latest updates to the MAIDS (Motorcycle Accidents In-Depth Study) have been released, and are available for downloading.You will need to register with the site to download the reports if you are interested. They are European stats, but still make chilling reading. Back in the day when I had access to LTSA's stats they had some scary figures as well: I have a suspicion that if you could compare like with like between MAIDS and LTSA the discrepancies wouldn't be all that great. It seems to me that motorcyclists are similarly anarchistic world wide, no matter which jurisdiction they ride in. All of us tend towards being rebels without a pause.
