MSF President Tim Buche said, "One fatality is one too
many and we
urge all roadway users to expect to see motorcyclists on the road and
respect their
right to be there. Such an analysis could enable further significant gains in
motorcycle safety by
providing a better understanding of which safety
countermeasures have been effective and what new
countermeasures may
be necessary to reduce future crashes and injuries. A new standalone
classroom
training module, Seasoned Rider, due to be released in late
summer of 2005, addresses the special
needs of mature and re-entry
riders and includes an all-new classroom training video.
