There is no feeling quite like hitting the open road on the back of a motorcycle. However, even experienced motorcyclists are aware of the serious risks associated with sharing the road because an accident could leave them permanently injured. In the United States, motorcycle riders account for a disproportionately high number of traffic fatalities. Just in Kansas, 1,867 motorcycle accidents were reported in a recent calendar year. There were 1,213 injuries and 90 catastrophes as a result of these collisions. In more than 35 percent of these crashes, multiple vehicles were involved. Riders are almost 28 times more likely to die in an accident, and their injuries will almost surely be substantially worse.
