More bikers are getting killed on the road. "This trend is very troubling," said NTSB member Debbie Hersman, who chaired a two-day forum on motorcycle safety that began Tuesday. "The number of fatalities is outpacing the increase in ridership."

Motorcycle accidents involved dramatically different considerations that run of the mill motor vehicle accidents. Riding is different than driving. Jury perception of motorcyclists is different than automobile drivers.

That's because they are #1 built just as racing bikes are, but they out headlights on them and call them "crotch rockets" #2 reason is put a guy especially on one at age 17-25 and they have the power to go 0-60 in a few seconds #3 seeing motorcycles is a lot more difficult (especially for the elderly) I lost my 22 year old son on a "crotch rocket" and believe they should be outlawed. They are nothing more than a "murdercycle" waiting for that accident to happen.
