Did you know that motor police have 1/10th the fatality rate of civilian riders? 

NHTSA highway fatalities database allows searching for "special use" vehicles, ie. police, and also for "vehicle type" including motorcycles.  Narrow the search to those and you'll have the number of motor police fatalities per year.   The Federal Highway Administration website has reports for the number of registered vehicles in the U.S.  There is a separate catagory for government owned vehicles including government owned motorcycles.  Voila!  Now we have numbers that can be compared with civilian motorcycle fatalities, about 70 per hundred thousand for civilians, about 7 per hundred thousand for motor police.  Adjustments for moving time, miles, traffic density, etc. and the difference might be even larger.

Studying crashes has been done to death.  There's nothing more to learn from that.  Why not figure out how motor police achieve their safety record and find ways to persuade and support civilians to get in the same zone.   Having the skills of an average motor police rider is realistic, especially if there is a fun way to get there...   

On the bayareariders forum there are motorpolice participants, including an instructor named silversys.  I said to him it would be cool if civilians could participate in police riding competitions.  A few civilians in the conversation started begging and pleading.  The upshot, silversys is organizing a civilian/motorpolice competition in Livermore CA next May (He's calling it Beat the Heat.  I would call it Cops and Robbers). 

It seems to me this represents an opportunity for motorcycle instructors, both police and civilian.  Persuade the local motor police instructors, who seem to organize most of the rodeos, to open competitions to civilians.  Then the instructor community offers, not safety lessons (yawn), but coaching to be competitive in motor police competitions.  (If it got popular the teaching model might need to change from lessons to a riding club format with practice days.)

Win or lose, competing against police riders sounds like FUN!

Conserve Fuel

    Mind the basics. Go easier on the gas pedal and shun your A/C if you're just driving around town.
    Work with your car, not against it. Clean the junk out of the trunk, let off the accelerator earlier when approaching a stop, speed up before hills to make the climb easier, and use the cruise control more.
    Keep those RPMs low. Learn how to skip gears if you've got a stick-shift, avoid engine braking, and reacquaint yourself with Neutral (it's not just for towing).
    Take care of your car. Tire pressure, spark plugs, air filters, oil—they all make a huge difference.
    Pick the right station. If you can save a whole dollar by going to a different station in town, by all means do it. If the difference is just a few cents, you're probably not saving much by driving several miles to the cheaper station.
    Don't drive if it isn't necessary. Public transportation can be a wondrous thing for your wallet, and walking or riding a bike are even better if your destination is nearby.

Hello again.  So I have been doing the online insurance quote dance and my oh my those prices are high.  I was looking at all 600 cc sportbikes as well as some naked streetfighters.  The average price for full coverage is about 2k a year and slightly less than half for something like the Yamaha FZ-8.  Mind you I have a great driving record w/ no accidents or tickets etc., I am 32 and have had Motorcycle license for about 10 years.  These were for new bikes and I only checked Progressive, Allstate and McGraw.  I also was not combining my auto insurance.  Is this about right or am I over-insuring?
