I want to answer why, but it would be easier for me to ask that you provide sources for your statement. Evening assuming it is true and we do have the lowest fatality rates, how do we fair with non-fatal accidents? I would say the lack of fatal incidents is simply due to the advances in...

...because it's legally mandated.

If he calls his insurance company to tell them he had an accident, it is going on his file - that's their whole shtick. This will most certainly raise his rates. Would be like calling the police to ask where the best place to hide your drugs is.

Seeing the photos overlaid each other is really cool. Reading through, much contrast is drawn between Redding and the rest, however there is little mention of the fact that is 6 feet tall. He has about a foot on Marquez, which would explain his seemingly extended riding position in comparison...

Did one of their days at the end of August last year, after having done their 3-stage intro program in June. Signed up for both Saturday and Sunday next weekend. The green group is largely filled with recent students renting the 125s (as I had done), as it is relatively cheap and everything is...

Okay, let me take my foot out of my mouth. I meant to speak more towards Marquez's position in the current championship, before the start of the race. He was already trying to make up a large deficit in points. Finishing anywhere behind any of the factory Yamaha or Ducati would mean that gap...

Patience isn't going to win races or championships, especially when grasping at straws in order to claw back to the lead. Yeah, crashing definitely wont win races, but he's stuck between a rock and a hard place. Float around 3rd place to soften the blow, or go down putting up a fight? Heavy...

Not that I am claiming to understand the nuances involved with selling a motorcycle in various markets, but I am not so naive to think it's as simple as Yamaha shipping their ABS equipped bikes to this side of the planet. There are most certainly logistics outside of the bikes themselves which...

Seconded. They didn't flee in order to get back at you later on, they left because they didn't want any more to come of this. I'd call it an inconvenience and move on. No harm, no foul.

As stated, simply having the M2 will likely not do much - especially considering the process of acquiring one takes only 90 days, at the outside. They are more interested in knowing how long you have been licensed, in years. I had picked up my M2 in 2010, and my bike in 2012. I used to gather...

The lack of experience on the road is what hurts more, here. I live right downtown in a condo, and only pay $700 a year for my 250. 4th year with the bike, nearly a decade driving.

Pardon my digression from the thread topic. I am just so tired of hearing this crap from within our own circle, I am going to provide a rebuttal: Road Safety: Just because we're causing most of our own accidents does not mean there isn't room to improve the attitude of riders to make them...

If that's what they called it, you (as a customer) would have been better informed and called to cancel, keeping them from getting your (and likely thousands of others) late fees. Cha-ching.

The competition is that much better this year. Both the bikes and riders he is up against.

That's not usually how it works. Looking far ahead would have meant he could see the exit of the bend, and plan a trajectory. He was going too quickly for his own ability, panicked, starting staring at the edge of the road as the bike approached it, and ended up right where he was looking...

Can we stop calling it a corner? It was a bend in the road. All he had to do was steer the thing. Just push the bar :P He might want to try a bicycle.

I'd say Forward and Suzuki made the good choices. Aleix can ride, he made the Forward Yamaha his b***h last year, whereas Bradl can't figure it out to save his career. Baz is an exception, being a rookie. I would love to see Aleix on a competitive factory bike. Hopefully the GSXRR gets...

There are some gems in here, thanks!

Ha, it was. Thank you for that. TGIF.

Definitely not, no. I used to own a Qwest a couple of years ago, and it was a very different head shape than my current GT-Air. Both Shoei helmets. You might be able to find some information on their site discussing different head shapes, and they may indicate which helmets are which shape...
