Women riders make up only 17% of all Motorcycle crashes.

So let me extrapolate: Only 11% of bike riders are chicks yet they have 17% of the accidents.

There are therefore 97,900 blokes on bikes, 12,100 chicks and an indeterminate number of transvestites, 5th sex's etc.

lets divide that down to an even 1000 overall by % to make the numbers easier to fathom. 110,000/110=1000

97900/110=890 blokes
12100/110=110 chicks

If there were say 1000 bike accidents per year amongst the total, then 830 of them would be by guys and 170 by chicks.

830/890=0.93258 accidents per bloke rider

110/110=1 accident per chick rider

On that basis, chicks are 7.2% MORE likely to have an accident than blokes

The obvious point therefore is that blokes are better riders

Thanks for that raw data Lula..........................chuckle

Spending this weekend rebuilding my bike.

Too many bins and it looks pretty sad.

Parts all ordered and paid for.

She wont be pretty but she will be road worthy.

Give me a few weeks putting the bitch back together and I will join you once again.

I'm old now.
Bones get brittle at my age and after my last little misshap; the doc informed be that, after inspecting the X-rays of my entire spine, my back was "fucked" (his word for a medical condition I suppose).

I still have my moments but far more cautious than I was a few years ago.

Sharron has been on at me ever since aboiut getting a car licence so this week I sat the theory and failed. Got 4 of the specific questions about cars wrong.

Destiny.

She is still going on though and it looks like a resit will be forthcomming.

It's a sad day when a biking bro is converted to the dark side, just get a sidecar so you can't fall over; surely that'll satisfy your wench bro

**idleidolidyll** · 9th July 2009, 12:05

I'm in tonight.
Looks like I'll be on my best behaviour as Mrs Idleidolidyll will probably be on the back seat (yes, that means I'll be on the Beemer instead of the Katoom.

**Gwinch** · 9th July 2009, 12:07
