* even if you never plan to ride a motorcycle
This is (I hope) a light-hearted look at motorcycles and the safety class. My goal is to raise awareness of two-wheelers on the road and hopefully encourage someone to sign up for the course. Research from the U.K. (pdf) suggests that just knowing someone who rides a motorcycle will make a driver more aware of two-wheelers in the traffic mix.
