    No, you took two numbers you didn’t understand and declared that as in depth as the study…

    The only numbers I’d trust you to calculate is the number of motorcycles you own, but I wouldn’t trust you to report that accurately here.

    Have fun tho, that’s apparently what matters, not dead children

      I was pretty transparent with what I was doing and never claimed to be as thorough as a proper study would be. But 20 years is a very long time, you can’t assume the numbers from back then are still accurate to today’s world.

      I don’t own a motorcycle.

      If you care about dead children, maybe you should care a little more about the 6,000 killed by cars, trucks and SUVs rather than the 42 killed by motorcycles. Why are you on this crusade against motorcycles in the first place? It seems weird and unnecessarily hostile. (Edit: the 6,000 and 42 are all pedestrians killed, I don’t know how many of those are children)
