So again,

I must ask.
Where do your statistics come from?
You quote studys and numbers. Are you a member of a Safety study team or something similar?

If you will read throu my threads you will find all the info you request. but for further detailed information please go to your local Highway patrol office. Most have a yearly booklet on crash Statistics.
I went back and re read. There is nothing to suggest that you are involved with data collection as you state.
Are you working with a safety study personally or quoting from statistics?
A valid question.

Okay with this wealth of accident statistics and your incredible experience around motorcycles, not to mention your 112/118, oh and your bent frame answer one question. How come 3 days ago you didn't know what 1% meant?

https://www.hdforums.com/m_2740871/tm.htm

Im sorry my question bothered you to the degree you had to ask me in public rather than on the PM like most would. that in it's self would insinuate you have a hard time believing what I've spoken even though I have already pasted the facts in front of you. that in it's self confuses me. Why would you take the time to post this, when you didn't take the time to read the statistics pasted on my threads ?

To answer your question, it has never came up before. I've never heard anything about 1 %er's. Been riding motorcycles all my life. Just goes to show you. It's never to late to learn. If you have any more questions that might bother you. Please feel free to PM me any time. thanks for the question.
I can't help it, I gotta ask. I mean no offense, and if I'm wrong I apologize. But is this HD ATTITUDE? Your writing styles are almost identical, he always used the royal "we" in his posts, when he was asked a specific question he would act insulted and tell you to PM him if you wanted information, he had an FLHX, used the same 118/112 or 100/100 (going on memory here) whenever asked about his bike and he was a prolific thread starter. He also went by the name of roundtrip. Just asking.
Are you joking ? I thought all the information was in my profile. Im Buddy Randal. This is the first time I've been on this forum. Can't you look on His profile and see who He is ? I thought that was mandatory.
Did YOU check your own profile? In your profile it's Randall. You misspelled your own last name. I knew it.

I could have guessed that would be your answer. You read a booklet and are an instant expert. You're not James R Davis after all - you're Oprah!

WOW, is this the way you treat new members ?. I've been collecting datta for years. I do work with two organizations including my local ABATE. I don't get paid for my surveys, but the rewards are great. I meet a lot of nice people . I don't intend on making jokes of what I take serious.
Many thanks for those that were nice and cared about my friend. Thank You .

I always like to get 9 or 10 beers under my belt,......then ,.....I throw my german shorty over my bald scalp,.....mostly just for looks,...I don't actually strap it down,......then I tear *** down the highway at breakneck speeds,,...weaving in and out of traffic. Sometimes ,..I spit on the car behind me.........and I love to try and hit the road signs with my empty beer cans. Normally,....i'll drop my bike at every other red light,...just cause I forgot to put my feet down.

So far,..it's worked for me,....but ,...different strokes I guess......
Dude, I thought that was you onCops the other night. Right on!

YES, when they start preaching to us like you are!

No ONE, and I mean NO ONE said ANYTHING negative about your friend.

That is NOT what this topic is about anymore.

And I for one do NOT believe that this is your first time here.

I never said I worked for them. I collect datta and work with them in a helping capacity. They do not pay me. I however did leave off one letter in my last name. That in no way makes me a Troll Sir.
