Some interesting information in there.

Novelty helmet use is on the increase.  BMW will have as standard feature, ABS brakes on all 2012 models.

Standard option???  Sounds like an oxymoron.   :nixweiss:

I think I figured it out.  The accident rate dropped during the first 9 months of the year because so many Harley's were sitting in the shop waiting on repairs and not cruising down the highway.
