More lies? and statistics:

must be eh, cause we all KNOW chicks are, well girls when it comes to bike riding

Better Hand/eye Coordination of Male Drivers Reduces Accidents

*

Males score 42% higher than females in hand/eye coordination events like springboard and platform diving.
*

The lower hand/eye coordination skills of females doubles their likelihood of having a fatal traffic accident.
*

10,573 more traffic fatalities and 428,484 more non-fatal accidents each year are caused by the lower hand/eye coordination skills of females.
*

If all drivers had a safety record equivalent to female drivers, there would be 39% more traffic accidents annually.
*

If all drivers nationwide had the same traffic safety record as male passenger car drivers, there would be 21,795 fewer traffic fatalities in the US annually.

this one's from a bunch of raving christians; gotta be dodgy info huh

[COLOR=Orange]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

Can't be arsed reading your wind up thread but these statistics look like they show that BIKES are dangerous.

That really says that all licenced motorcyclists are likely to crash sometime.

I'm sure that someone else will have covered it and I'm sure that you also know that this will cover reported statistics too.

I've had many many offs on bikes but only two would be in those stats.

Sounds more like a good argument for wearing good gear to me...

But seriously folks:

This one looks like a good resource on the subject of we bike riders, safety and what can be done about it:

and on another note:
Why did man invent pillion seats and sidecars?
So chicks could ride in safety of course!

[davebullet]

That's a good point. I am happy to accept that some women may disagree with me I would suspect that we're more likely to report accidents than blokes, and we probably do have differing ideas on assessing the "severity" of the results.

Because guys have ego problems.. too embarrassing to admit you can't ride a bike and bin it as Flame said...

[bogan]

I am reminded of a time a gal caused me to fall off my bike, i didnt know her, it wasnt her fault, and i dont think she even noticed. But my statistics show that good looking females on two wheeled iron horses (well it was a scooter) contribute to 100% of known service station bike bins.

gotta love statistics

[sondela]

Meh, I'm such a good rider that I negate any and all statistics merely by the fact of being on a (very sexy) bike...

I am astounded at how many of you rose to take the bait.

An ovious troll and so many took it hook line and sinker.

III I've known you for a long, long time and it still amazes me how you can endear people to you with just a small little prod to their sensibilities or their egos.

Maybe its because this is what they have come to expect from you on this site and they are all just straining at the bit to run you down.

Anyway, keep it up, I really enjoy these threads. Ther replies from the sanctimonious and politically correct always brighten my day.

"III I've known you for a long, long time and it still amazes me how you can endear people to you with just a small little prod to their sensibilities or their egos."

it's a talent i'm quite proud of. some people take themselves far too seriously

"Maybe its because this is what they have come to expect from you on this site and they are all just straining at the bit to run you down."

a great pity most just don't have what it takes, i hold great respect for intelligent opponents who can string together a rational argument..................and bugger all respect to the rest.
as you know, woolly headed thinking makes me rotflmfao

"I am astounded at how many of you rose to take the bait.

I'm not

mate; we're a tribe, the irish, we stick together like flies on shit

btw: there's at least one cuzzie, and a mrs registered on this site too; with around 150 1st cuzzies, there's probably even a few here who don't know they're cuzzies

[QUOTE=idleidolidyll;1129294886][COLOR=Orange]Survival skills? Hell ladies, it looks like you all need lessons!
/QUOTE]

Well, I've been riding 12 years and never had an off - so seeing you've never ridden with me, really don't think you can judge every chick who rides against your statistics - I seem to know plenty of guys who have come off not once, or twice, but heaps of times - and I ride with the fastest group in HB and am often first to arrive......

so thanks for the offer of a lesson - but maybe some of us chicks could give you guys some lessons......

[idleidolidyll]

I'm not judging, i'm merely offering a study and watching people get all upset thinking the stats are mine

the people who collected and collated the stats are judging, you just judged me.

personal anecdotes are essentially irrelevant in the face of a serious study. what is the margin of error in your stat? what is the statistical probability that assumptions drawn are correct?

i bet the study Lula offered in that article has answers to those questions

the first step to fixing a problem is acknowledging that it exists
