And thank you for the complimentary post. :cool

Even without extra effort to highlight the analyses I've posted, I am glad to steer anyone who is interested toward the sources and methods I've found useful. I think everyone would benefit from a more accurate portrayal of motorcycling than we usually see in the media.


US DOT's 2007 data became available soon after my first post in this thread. I started a new thread last week, Motostats 2007, for discussion of the latest information but haven't posted much yet. I did uncover some intriguing facts about California and the Bay Area. If you missed the thread, you might find that it adds some depth to the Murky News article.

I really appreciate your posts about the statistics. :thumbup
You provide exactly the information that's needed to cut through the sensationalist media blurbs. I hope more people become familiar with your posts.

If this were an adjunct to BARF, possibly even utilizing BARF resources which could be funded by BARFers via contributions specific to this effort, it would seem this could also promote BARF in the most positive of ways.

And if some effort were to be put into assembling this information into a website with various FAQs (the same ten or twelve questions seem to get asked over and over again), DataDan's efforts could be maximized and simplified tor consumption. And thanks for the info that you have supplied to our relatively small community to date, Dan!

Just a thought...my paying gig is IT Project Mgmt and I'd be happy to volunteer time if there is interest.

A press section on BARF might be a good idea.
