In this episode, we explore intriguing motorcycle statistics and issues. We examine the unexpected rise in Kansas's accident and fatality rates following the reinstatement of its helmet law in 1973, and we highlight why experienced out-of-state riders have fewer accidents in South Dakota. We also discuss the pros and cons of choppers, the controversial practice of lane splitting, and the need for improved motorcycle safety education for young riders. Additionally, we cover the top motorcycle accessories, California's clash with the DOT over mandatory helmet laws, the cancellation of the National Road Race at Bryar Motorsport Track in Laconia, and the practical and impractical aspects of cafe racers. Tune in for a deep dive into the world of motorcycling as we take you back to 1975.
