Need some help with Safety info

#1 Unread post by storysunfolding »

A friend wants me to put together a poster for a presentation TOMORROW, on motorcycle gear. Mainly to cover helmet effectiveness, abrasion resistance of material, importance of armor blah blah blah. Problem is that I need some charts, graphs and sources. If you have any favorites of your own, or have some time for google I'd appreciate it if you could post them here.

The therapy worked, I got a GS now
