I read this on a regular basis to remind me what not to do and what to make sure that I look for and avoid. It's a compilation of motorcycle accidents from around the country. It also contains some other news categories that you can select which may interest you.

Thanks, I will post this on the other bike forums I am on. Good for beginners and seasoned vets too. Learning by others mistakes is alot better than by your own. :wink:

Right now we try to screen out the motorcycle accident news in our Total Motorcycle News One forum...

Do you all WANT to read about motorcycle accidents?

Sorry, I didn't know that you filter out motorcycle accidents from your forum.

I know that it's scary to read about motorcycle accidents, but I think that reading them makes me a better and safer rider. People that ride have it in thier blood and I don't think that any of them will quit riding due to reading the articles. Or stop visiting your site. Accidents are part of riding, and we can learn from other riders mishaps.

I really thought that it would be benificial for riders to read. I will refrain from posting this type of information.

No problems about posting this type of information. I was just courious if people actually wanted to read about them as MANY happen each day; some quite horrific.

I do agree that reading about accidents can help riders out, but will it also cause harm to new riders as well? I try to post the most positive and most interesting (non-accident) related motorcycle news from around the world (about 10-20 each day).
