I think the older guy's reporting less speeding may be full of shit and I'm also
interested in how a few people doing the survey reported they had been killed

I especially like the sex part. last time I got a hand job on a bike I almost crashed. I wonder how much those bone heads get paid for that shit. Of course younger riders are going to do more crazy shit than old farts, (with the exeption of me) duh. They waist our time and money with these bullshit surveys for what reason? They need to get out and get a life, maybe go for a walk or go in the bathroom and masterbait. They obviously have no fucking life. It's worse in the states. They have surveys like, "What do you think of the North end of a South bound skunk going West? And does his arse smell worse than the East end of a West bound Polar Bear going South? And if so why?" Time for a JB.

yeh, 3% of respondents reported fatality !!

Some *cough* conclusions *cough* in that survey, which could only have been concluded by non-motorcyclists.....this one especially ....

Deakin University survey wrote:.....However, and unexpectedly, higher need for control was also associated with more performance of stunts. This is really interesting, and we plan to do some interviews to look at this issue, later this year.....

Now let me think about this......in order for performance of stunts, the motorcyclists reported a 'higher need for control'.

And somehow.....this response is ...unexpected ?

I would suggest to the researchers, that the only people not expecting motorcyclists to require a higher degree of control when stunting, are reseachers who have absolutely NFI about riding or stunting in the first place ! FFS, they will now probably take this 'higher degree of control' finding, and make some totally bullshit finding about bikers being stunt-mad control-freaks !!

Who would have thought that ?

You got to love these professor types. The provide such good humour

I don't know about you but I am a stunt mad control freak. Well maybe not stunt mad and I really don't want to be in control, but I am a freak. If you don't believe me ask my wife. Nothing better than a ride, good sex and JB.

Thirtyist out of a hundred and eleventish stats are made up to project whatever outcome the survey financier wants to be percieved as true.

I was one of the respondants to this, pretty sure I found it on here. The thing about surveys, is that voluntary surveys such as this (ie. no incentive such as money, etc.) general only attact the biased responseses from people who feel strongly about topic. So you miss all the average people in the middle, and only here from the poles. 1300+ responses though, maybe the motorcycle community is generally a vocal one. As for there conclusions... crock-o-shite. Regardless of the numbers, I remember the questions as being asked in a manner which would consciously or otherwise influence the answer given.
