Submitted by CaptainJustice on Mon, 06/19/2006 - 8:56am.This is not ALL about that one trip, but a piece of it that was prompted by a message on the IBMWR email list today. The discussion was about rain gear and it had turned to the relative merits of double-flapped zippers.

Submitted by CaptainJustice on Sun, 06/04/2006 - 9:59pm.From the IBMWR list re: Western New Mexico and Eastern Arizona by Ira Agins:
US 191 between Clifton and Alpine, AZ. Forty miles of twisties
followed by 50 miles of sweepers. One of the finest motorcycling
roads in the US.
The ride up to the Gila Cliff Dwellings.
NM 152 west of Hillsboro.
A slice of pie at the Pie-O-Neer restaurant in Pie Town.

Motorcycle crash statistics from the insurance information institute
Submitted by CaptainJustice on Wed, 05/31/2006 - 6:17pm.- In 2004, 4,008 people died in motorcycle crashes. According to preliminary data, the U.S. Department of Transportation says that in 2005, 4,315 motorcyclists died in crashes, up 7.7 percent from 2004.
- There were 5.4 million motorcycles on U.S. roads in 2003, according to latest data available, compared with 131.1 million passenger cars. Motorcycles accounted for 2.3 percent of all registered motor vehicles and 0.3 percent of vehicle miles traveled.
- Some 88,000 motorcycles were involved in crashes in 2004.
- Motorcyclists were 34 times as likely as passenger car occupants to die in a crash in 2004, per vehicle mile traveled.
- The fatality rate for motorcyclists was 4.8 times the fatality rate for passenger car occupants per registered vehicle in 2004.
There was later this additional comment on the IBMWR list which I think is very insightful and food for thought for the entire crowd I ride with.

Motorcycle Camping Trip Checklists
Submitted by CaptainJustice on Tue, 06/28/2005 - 7:52pm.Here are a couple of checklists (see below) for motorcycle touring and camping.
One is a custom one that I've adapted for my own needs (BMWTripChecklist.txt), the other is a generic one that I found somewhere (BMWTripChecklist2.txt). There is also one in a nifty web page format that looks very nice and is suitable for printing. The checklist can be "checked" online and then print, and there are a number of blanks in each section to write in your own goodies.
