According to the federal motorcycle reports, over 2,500 motorcyclists are killed each year and another 50,000 are injured in USA. More than 80% of all motorcycle accidents result in injury or death.
Many of these accidents are not the fault of motorcyclists but instead are the fault of inexperienced, inattentive, or reckless drivers.
