Data Show High risk for New Motorcycle Riders



Jeff Foley after getting a motorcycle on his 40th birthday previous year, followed by the weekend training course that allows him a license. Within the first few months, the 450-pound, low slung cruising bike fell over the twice while he was riding.

The chief injury was Foley’s pride. The first time, he was pulling out slowly and turning in a parking lot. The second time his wife was at the back seat.

 Foley told, “Both times were just as I was starting to get a little bit cocky, “, “I’m exceptionally fortunate that I dropped it at a standstill, not 50 or 60 miles an hour.

Safety research shows, the most dangerous time for the motorcyclists by far is their first year. They are peaking at the first month. Another research shows that licensing courses that fast-track the time it takes to get on the road don’t lower down the crash risks and may even raise them.

With the riding season getting under way in the Northeast, his second, Foley has become more cautious on his 800c Intruder, which falls in the middle of the power range that manufacturers have generally ramped up over a generation. He’s also more experienced and quietly confident and hasn’t dropped the bike again.

He loves riding back roads but won’t go fast on turns he doesn’t know. He tries to contain his enthusiasm for what he calls an exhilarating and Zen pastime that lets him forget everything else. “Even though a motorcycle is not a toy he said. It awakens the child inside me.

An institute study has shown that 22 percent of nearly 57000 collusion claims from 2003 to 2007 occurred in the first 30 days after the policy of motorcycle insurance in Foley Al took effect. The rate dropped one third in the second month and almost two third after six months.
