But you have to realize that for every death or serious injury, there are

Not to be argumentative but I think that motorcycle accident and death

per week here in SWFL.

"The fatality rates for cruiser and "standard" riders rank the lowest,
at 5.7 deaths per 10,000 registered motorcycles. Touring bikes, such
as the Harley example, averaged 6.5 deaths, with sport bikes totaling
10.7 deaths per 10,000."
