That is a valid point but I would hope that the 'categorizing' of the crash on the map would reflect that. As in, if another vehicle was involved, even if the bike didn't hit it, it would be listed as having another vehicle involved. No way to really know without doing more research, which I'm not going to do. Based on the photographic evidence in this thread, I'm pretty comfortable with the 72% being solely rider error.

She has to be a pro, to be seen with some guy with that on his head.
And if you look closely, that bowl is HD-approved (or at least logo'd-licensed).

That post, all of it, in its entirety, was an outstanding read.

Just sayin'
