A too common story for bikers is “I was right there and that car turned in front of me.”   According to the Hurt Study, in multiple vehicle accidents, the driver of the other vehicle violated the motorcycle’s right-of-way and caused the accident in two-thirds of those accidents.  The failure of motorists to detect and recognize motorcycles in traffic is the predominating cause of motorcycle accidents. The driver of the other vehicle involved in collision with the motorcycle did not see the motorcycle before the collision, or did not see the motorcycle until too late to avoid the collision.

Being seen by other traffic has always been an issue for bikers.  Many bikers wear high visibility yellow, orange or bright red jackets/helmets.  Daytime lights on bikes have also helped.  But, headlamp modulators are becoming the latest rage.

HEY, I THOUGHT YOU WERE JESSE JAMES THE BIKER, NOT THE OUTLAW! Jesse James or James Jesse? Identity theft is big criminal business. I never thought I would be a statistic, but it happened to me. After eighteen months, I am still dealing with the nightmare (or crap as some call it). The better you understand how it works, the more you can protect yourself.
Identity theft and account fraud happens when someone steals personal information such as your bank account number or Social Security number and then poses as you, either withdrawing money from your account or running up debt in your name, or both. There are approximately 400,000 victims per year.

No matter how careful, skilled thieves, like pickpockets, burglars and computer hackers, have many ways (both low-and high-tech) to get information.
