Accident involvement and injuries, as a result of a collision, greatly reduce in number when the rider has motorcycle training.” Source

You know the weather is bad when you find yourself sitting on a 160-horsepower motorcycle wishing you could trade places with someone in the backseat of a Toyota Prius.
