A recent report indicates that motorcycling fatalities in the U.S.A. dropped by at least 10 percent in 2009, which is the first decline in 12 years, the American Motorcyclist Association (AMA) reports. Based on preliminary data, the Governors Highway Safety Association (GHSA), which represents the state highway safety offices nationwide, projects that motorcycling deaths declined from 5,290 in 2008 to 4,762 or fewer in 2009. The projection is based on data collected from the 50 states and the District of Columbia.
2,294 motorcyclists were killed in 1998, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, which gathers its data from the same sources as the GHSA. That number increased steadily each year, reaching 5,290 in 2008.
The reasons for the decline in motorcycle fatalities in 2009 is not known, but worsening economic conditions causing fewer new riders, fewer miles ridden and casual riders selling their motorcycles could be supporting factors.
Further muddying the waters, the 2010 Spyder RT will come in a choice of three model-dependent color schemes, three feature-based models and two transmission choices. Colors include Full Moon Silver, Orbital Blue and Timeless Black, in either manual transmission (SM5) or semi-automatic (SE5), and three model distinctions – the RT ($20,999), RT Audio & Convenience ($22,999) and RT-S ($24,999).
Masei 822 "Demi-Jet" Helmet shown here is another addition to the revived Masei lineup. They are DOT approved. Also, this masei has neutral fit that should fit a majority of owner head shapes.
The helmet includes several colors and the 822 prices range from about US$45.00 for the solids to $55.00 for the graphics - half the price of similar Jet helmet offered by Taiwanese makers. Additionally, this Masei Demi-Jet comes with internal sunvisor.
The internal shape is neutral and tends towards round. Anyone moving to a Jet-styled helmet for the first time from a full-face or flip-up will probably need an adjustment period.
A D-ring is infinitely adjustable and there are no springs to wear out or plastic and metal latches to break. All of the quick release mechanisms we've tried make it very hard to adjust the tightness of the helmet straps. Accessory quick release latches that are user installed should also be avoided, because they can add too much length to the helmet's strap, making it difficult to adjust correctly.
