Michigan Motorcycle Crash Facts - 10 year summary 2012- 2021

May 2023

We need to protect our hard earn FREEDOM. We have the facts. The ten year study of motorcyclists killed from 2012 to 2021 show that helmets didn’t make a significant difference in the numbers of motorcyclists killed riding w/o helmets. 9/10 years more died wearing helmets than not. There of course are plenty of non-riders who insist that wearing helmets makes riding safer. Our stance is simple, “Let Those who Ride Decide.” Covid didn’t do us any favors. 2021, 166 motorcyclists were killed. That is almost double of a normal season. This spring had one great weekend weather and the rest were subpar. The grass is a dark green, it should be with all that rain. Bottom line, we still have a shot at a good season. Fire up those bikes and get ready to ride to Lansing. We will be in the back of the capital for the 2nd time. Many years ago we were in the back while they were doing cement work on the front. There will be no licensing demo this rally. Again thanks to COVID there is a higher non-endorsement rate in the fatalities. I give the State Police credit for their work on getting the unendorsed fatalities lower in the 2015-2020 stats. Bottom line today is the unendorsed rate in the fatalities has gone up and 2023 will be a swing year. It could go up more this year. Hopefully not. The rally will be different. We are parking on the North side of the capital at the back of the, “Lansing White House.” There will be a “Fish Fry” and a chance to talk to Representatives. The ride to the capital is critical to what happens to the helmet law. A good to great showing put us in the driver’s seat to stay FREE. Mark your calendar and let’s make a statement for FREEDOM.

Rider Education is up and running. Training over 500 students already this spring. Yeah, it did snow a little bit but no ice time outs. Got 10 new coaches and it was a good class. Now, we will see if they are signing up to teach. Another Coach Prep starts this weekend. Coaches are short across the state and 2024 will be another year of 2 classes. The upcoming group has already had over 4 drop out because it was, “too much work.” If you don’t put the work in you don’t get MSFed.

Field Meet coming up. Freedom Rally days before. Get pumped up and looking forward to summer. Need pressure on the Legislature to continue our Freedom. I want to Thank Silla for her hard work as editor/webmaster, and our worker bees Pam and the Field Meet committee for their efforts in putting on a good event. See you there, Ride Safe and FREE!!
