The only reliable way to reduce motorcycle injuries and fatalities.


Per vehicle mile traveled, motorcyclists' risk of a fatal crash is 35 times greater than a passenger car.[1]

The only reliable way to reduce motorcycle injuries and fatalities is to not promote motorcycling in the first place. No other strategy can be as effective.

I never encourage other people to take up motorcycling because I know that it is addictive and impossible to stop. If asked, I actively discourage someone who is thinking about buying a bike, but hasn't yet done so.
Motorcycling is a non-essential activity.

If you have chosen to make an informed decision to ride a motorcycle and accept the risks, it does not mean that your child should be made to accept similar risks by putting them on the back of your bike.

Teenagers should be actively discouraged from considering a motorcycle as personal transport. 

Encouraging your kid into motorcycling because you are addicted, is irresponsible and selfish. 

If you are the sole provider for a young family, seriously consider postponing your motorcycling until your children are adults.

Motorcycling is like a drug.
Exciting.
Addictive.
Dangerous.
It can kill you and wreck your family. 

Don't be a peddler.
