Let's not stop there..why don't we band Horseback riding, Jet skiing, Bunji jumping, sky diving, scuba diving, water skiing, mountain climbing, how about cell phones in cars, make it illegal to text and drive or any other activity other than driving. Hell we should just ban cell phones cuz they cause brain cancer, wait so does your Television, microwave, hell this computer i'm typing on. wait if we ban computers there would be a band on this forum oh no somebody stop me. We can all just stay home and never leave except to get groceries on a horse..no wait that was band to all well. tell the writer to

$190million to cover unpaid costs???
How about the millions of people puffing away on tabacco that leads to $20 billion dollars in unpaid medical costs?? or the ban fast food that causes millions of americans to have Heart complications..
Not trying to start anything with ppl who smoke or love to eat (i myself enjoy cigars and well obviously love food) but how can you statistically say motorcycle accidents cause that much in unpaid medical bills when there are so many other things MUCH MORE CONTROLLABLE out there that cost so much more??

This article sickens me on so many levels, I wouldn't even know where to begin. And I am sure that the author got plenty of colorful feedback by now, and there is more to come.
What really scares me is that the author of this article exibited the thinking and logic typical to many politicians who have real power to change our lives for the worse.
This moron does not realize that this country has a silent killer on the loose. More than a 100 people get killed every day and hundreds get wounded, and no news agency reports it as what it is. And the reason they don't because it doesn't have a newsworthy effect.
This silent killer is "driving", and the stats come from the same source, you moron. So, next time you get in a car, think about it. Or maybe you moron should stop driving and riding in a car - to play it safe, and to be consistent with your article.
And then you moron pull some stats on how many people slip and fall in their shower, and the only meaningful conclusion would be that we all should stop taking showers and stay dirty - because it's safer.
And then let's look at all the sports, and ban the heck out of them because they are really dangerous. And so on, and so forth.
And then you moron will realize that the moment you are born, life is dangerous and is full of various risks, and to prevent that, you moron should not had been born. But I guess that was out of your control.

The thing I like about that novel is the fact that there was no personal relation to any injured people, just a friend and friends of friends. I have lost family on bikes, in one incident to a 4th time drunk driver and SHE still had a valid licence. Yet myself, my mom, my brother, and friends all ride on.
Stop taking time out of your life telling responsible riders to be safe, and tell a couple drivers to pay attention.

You cannot prevent death. The only thing in life that is 100% guaranteed is YOU WILL DIE!! So it really doesn't matter how many laws you pass to "protect" us we will all die one way or the other. So why not make the most of the short life you do have??? Also, yeah its bad all those people died and got hurt and cost tax payers money and blah blah blah....but it really sounds like it created alot of jobs. Insurance adjusters, lawyers, judges, EMT, doctors, nurses, techs, police, firemen, and the person who died probably had a job. So yeah it is very sad when anyone dies, but if everything is going to be turned around to where bikes are bad and anyone who rides is going to die on one then maybe look at it as job security. Go from one extreme to another. Plus, I would rather my tax dollars go to pay for some moron without a dime who decided to twist the wrist too far than some multi-million dollar politician who votes against the little man (me) at every chance they get.

I get your point, but c'mon now...there are plenty of overachievers out there on motorcycles that don't need ANY help from non-motorcycle vehicles to take their final ride.

This just in: Walking has been BANNED!
The Federal government has deemed that the safest way to prevent injury from falling is to ban all but the safest forms of transportation. Therefore, walking, along with runing, driving and flying to name a few, is OUT! To address the issue of how to get around safely without walking, the gov't has purchased 7 trillion Floating Armchair Transportation Assitant units (FATA$$ units).***Yes, there's only 7 billion people, but the gov't is planning ahead and a close personal friend of congressman bid on the contract to make the things. We need jobs, right?
You will be contacted within 630 days with instructions on how to receive your gov't issued FATA$$ unit. Until then...
DON'T YOU DARE FUGGING MOVE!
