Here's a few facts for you to ponder from recent research in the UK.

Data was collected on 1,121 motorcyclists involved in road traffic accidents (from 1993-2000) and identified those who had sustained a spinal injury.Spinal injury occurred in 126 (11.2%) riders (112 male riders [88.9%] and 14 female riders [11.1%])

The thoracic spine was injured in 69 (54.8%), the lumbar spine in 37 (29.4%), and the cervical spine in 34 (27.0%) cases. The thoracic spine is the most commonly injured spinal region in motorcycle crashes.

Does this sound familiar?, of course if you have been in a motorcycle accident, and you have retained some upper body strength, you can always move accross to a Trike and join a bad ass biker gang!
