Ok, reaching out to the .orgers for a bit of help. I need some links to sites with stats dealing with motorcycle crashes. Main concern being it has info on helmets vs. no helmets(injuries/deaths). Nation wide is fine. TIA.

Re: Need some stats on crashes.
It's a bit old, but google the HURT report.

Here ya go:

http://www.clarity.net/~adam/hurt-report.html

I think this is probably the most comprehensive study ever done.

Re: Need some stats on crashes.
Here's an interesting fact I just found.

Mean engine size involved in a fatal crash has steadily increased from 820 cc in 1993 to 999 cc in 2002.

Now I wonder why that is......damn liter bikes.

Re: Need some stats on crashes.
Lots of ways to interpret that. Is it because people can't handle the litre bikes, or just because litre bikes are more common?

I don't have it anymore, but the increase in motorcycle fatalities has been drunk yuppies on Harley's. The AMA put an article about this in American Motorcyclist a while back.

I believe that article even said sportbike wrecks have remained fairly constant.


This sounds like the discussion I had with my Mom when I bought my first street bike.

I remember reading something awhile back about Congress finally approving money to fund another "Hurt" report, but can't find the link. Anyone know if this is going to happen...

There was an article last year in Cycle World?? or Motorcyclist (I cant remember which) that tested the effectiveness of different helmet standards. Its called "Blowing the Lid Off", I am sure you have heard of it. I dont know if that will be any help.

Re: Need some stats on crashes.
FYI, the largest growing segment of fatalities is the over 40 crowd with 1000+cc motorcycles. AKA the empty nester who had to 'give it up' because he got married and had a family. They make their $$ and bought the biggest baddest luxo-chopper-tourer and kill themselves on it.
