‼️Motorcycle Crash Causation Study‼️ 👉"Evasive action was neither taken nor properly executed in 80% of cases" 👉"Loss of control when attempting to avoid collision was overrepresented" 👉24% of crashes due to "vehicle control skill deficiency" 👉"Motorcyclists skills deficiency" overrepresented in single vehicle and fatal accidents. 👉"Motorcyclists crash avoidance failure" overrepresented in single vehicle and fatal crashes. This is why we train. A large number of solo vehicle and fatal motorcycle accidents could've been avoided if the riders knew what they were doing. Even when riders hit vehicles, not giving themselves enough time (hazard recognition) and crashing before they even hit cars was an issue. You CANNOT rely on years, miles, reflexes, intuition, or any of the other excuses we hear to avoid accidents. You default to the level of your TRAINING, and even that performance degrades under stress. Train. If you want help and professional instruction from the only training program in San Diego where our instructors actually investigate accidents and develop drills based on real life scenarios, sign up now at SOCALSLOWCONES.COM. Our motor officer instructors are here to help. Our goal is to prevent motorcycle accidents through meaningful curriculum developed from real world experience, in order to reduce the number of motorcycle fatalities on public roadways.

So Cal Slow Cones has had the privilege of being chosen to host a lecture and riding seminar at the @blue_knights_ca_vi southwest conference this year! We are humbled and honored to have been chosen to work with this great organization! The Blue Knights is a law enforcement motorcycle club who fosters comraderie and community engagement through events like the southwest conference, charity drives, non profit support, and more! Thank you, Blue Knights! We look forward to seeing you in June!

🚨UNPOPULAR TRUTHS🚨 Invest in training before the lack-of-skills fairy catches up to you. By the time you spend thousands of dollars on that action camera setup, helmet, and gauntlet gloves to wear with your adidas shoes, t shirt, and joggers, you could've actually learned how to control your bike and ride like a pro. But what if I drop my bike? You might. It's a part of finding limits and pushing them, no matter your skill level. I still do to this day. That's why you have drop guards. It's better to find and push limits and learn your capabilities in a controlled environment, rather than riding with "reflexes" and "intuition" as collision avoidance strategies. Learning your capabilities and the capabilities of your motorcycle helps you make more informed decisions on the roadway and ultimately makes you and everyone around you safer. Control doesn't take as much money and time as you think. And once you get over your fears, it's actually fun to challenge yourself in a low stakes environment. Ultimately, it makes you a better rider everywhere else. Straight line videos on the freeway aren't impressive, and your X years of riding or X miles isn't indicative of your skill level, at all. Countless "50 year riders with 100,000 miles" have shown up and cannot do a 60 foot u turn. Let's make training a trend. Grab your riding buddies and challenge each other to turn tighter, brake faster, swerve better, and ride at a higher skill level. You have nothing to lose. If you want to record your session, tag us in it and we'll be happy to give you feedback! If you're interested in professional instruction, sign up for a course today at socalslowcones.com!

🔥A massive thank you to @ls2helmetsus for the package🔥 What's in the box? LS2 sent me their Thunder Carbon helmet and I am BLOWN AWAY. For less than $1000 you can have an FIm certified, fully carbon fiber helmet developed by LS2 and some of the top riders in the world. This is an insanely light helmet and by far the lightest one I've owned. 👉Why LS2 is my top choice - they go above and beyond to test, design, and manufacture high quality helmets that exceed the safety ratings of their competitors. Their Advant X modular helmets are ECE rated both open and closed, which is unheard of. Their Thunder Carbon helmet is an FIM rated helmet right off the shelf. Street? Track? You're covered. The padding in the helmets does not break down. They'll break in just enough to be comfortable, but don't degrade quickly. After hundreds of hours the helmet still fits snug and inspires confidence. Build quality has been outstanding. LS2 helmets also feature their AREM advanced rotational energy management technology, protecting your head beyond straight on impacts. This technology will reduce rotational forces and head injuries. AS A BONUS, LS2 includes clear and tinted visors, a pin lock lens, a helmet bag, and a helmet backpack with all their helmets. If you're ready for a next level helmet experience, head on over to @ls2helmetsus. Your new favorite helmet is waiting! #motorcycle #helmet #safety #training #race

Taken from NAPARS and the associated research article. "Because Kinetic energy is related to the square of velocity, but the distance to skid to a stop and dissipate that energy is only linearly related to velocity, doubling your speed quadruples the stopping distance. The natural outcome of this is the topic of this 2012 paper from Alan German, presented at the Eastern Ontario Traffic Investigators’ Society meeting. Alan retired from Transport Canada some years back. He outlines the math and basis to compare two vehicles. One going 50 km/h, just fast enough that it can skid to a stop before hitting an obstacle, and one going 55 km/h. Sadly, the squared/linear thing means the faster car, even though it's only 5 km/h different, hits the obstacle at about 30 km/h. Stepping up another 5 km/h again to 60 km/h boosts impact speed to 42 km/h or so. He includes a perception-reaction time of 1.5 seconds, which is appropriate in many, BUT NOT ALL, circumstances. Different situations may elicit significantly different reaction times for a normal operator, but it's the number he used here. It is online here: https://www.roadsafetyresearch.ca/papers/stopping_on_a_dime.pdf" What does this mean? TIME AND DISTANCE are your friends. As your speed increases, you need to be looking further ahead and allow more time and distance for stopping or collision avoidance. I would be interested to see if there's a difference when applied to motorcycles...this is still good for discussion and applied to everyone in a vehicle, and it's a good habit to get into on a bike. This is one of the benefits of training with us. You get the extra knowledge to make informed decisions on the roadway instead of a one size fits all training program. Expert instruction. Real results. Sponsored by @ls2helmetsus #motorcycle #accident #riders #skills #safety
