So This Is Christmas

Merry Christmas is such an infectious feeling I like to feel that way all year around.

So if you are visiting just before Christmas, just after Christmas or even here on Christmas day I am sure you will find something of interest for you and in the spirit of Christmas.

It may be said that Christmas is no longer a celebration but this must be spoken by people that have never had trouble closing their eyes on Christmas Eve in an expectation of what maybe left for them on the carpet under the tree.

I continue to look forward to the surprise on my Grandchild's faces to this day at Christmas events.

Merry Christmas - Merry Christmas - Merry Christmas

Motorbike Accident Statistics and How to Stay Safe on a Bike

By Karrina Chompsky


Motorcycle accidents routinely result in grave or lethal wounds to the rider. Many of these accidents are lethal, or result in brain damage and permanent disability as well as, loss of salary, amazing medical expenses and the emotional and physical distress as a consequence. In most situations, motorcycle accidents happen because of the failure of other motorists to see the motorcycle involved.

It may stun you to learn in most bike accidents the rider of the motorbike isn't the cause of their crash. In addition, lethal bike accidents happen more often than fatal auto accidents, according to the United States Office of Transportation's Fatality Analysis Reporting System. In fact , there are four times more motorbike accident deaths than passenger automobile accident fatal injuries, at approximately seventy five lethal motorcycle crashes per 100,000 registered motorbikes in comparison to approximately 18.5 passenger automobile accidents per 100,000 registered automobiles. In the US, between four thousand and 5,000 motorcycle deaths occur annually. Almost 75% of multiple vehicle accidents involving bikes are due to vehicle driver's neglecting to recognize motorbikes right-of-way.

The following are a few statistics on motorcycle crashes:

- Only twenty five percent or less of motorbike accidents are single-vehicle accidents involving a motorcycle colliding with a fixed geographic object.
