But
remember this is per thousand hours of riding. How many hours a week would a
biker ride if he uses his bike for regular transportation -- not just
for recreational riding?
At a
guess: if a motorist averages 10,000 miles per year, and averages 25 mph, then
he's driving about 8 hrs/week. I imagine that's above average for horse people,
but below average for endurance riders, maybe not too far
different.

I agree I live in a small Midwest
community with 1200 residents. In the last 10 years I have heard of 2 that went
to the hospital due to a horse accident, both survived. We have had 2 killed in
the last year on motorcycles. With at least 4 that I know of that went to the
hospital. I am in the horse circle in my area and not in the motorcycle circle
so there may have been more.

From the headlines in the news and the training I got
on my bike course
I think the lower admittance rate for trama from
motorcycles is because they are usually on the way to the morgue.
I feel much safer on a horse then a motorcycle. Riding
or passenger.
