Motorcycle Deaths in California Rising
I found this on-line published by the East Bay times, interesting article and has some solid facts. Take into account it is written for the masses and not necessarily those that ride.

This is where I stopped reading: "The recent legalization of lane-splitting — whereby riders are permitted to squeeze [emphasis added]between cars on the freeway — has added to the safety concerns for motorcyclists and automobile drivers." It tells me where the author's head is at and what the intended agenda is about.

Also true! Just like blaming mass shootings on guns; blame the motorcyclist for the bullsh*t driving habits of the cagers.

It also warns that impaired driving due to alcohol abuse, legalized marijuana, excessive speed, distracted driving and new, faster bikes, along with climate change causing an increase in the number of riding days, are uncontrollable factors driving up motorcycle collisions.

I noticed that too. It just reads like an anti-motorcycle article from top to bottom. Cherry picked facts and statistics make the authors agenda pretty obvious. The whole article could have been compressed into something we all already know... if you ride a motorcycle you increase your chances of dying in a collision.

The footage shows the rider of the orange motorcycle kicking the driver’s side of the sedan, causing the sedan to lose control and collide into another car.
WTF did I just read? Was superman riding that motorcycle? That's going to be the dumbest statement I'll likely read this week.
