Texas has over 431,000 registered motorcycles and more than its share of motorcycle crashes. According to the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) preliminary crash data, 526 riders died in 2009 on Texas public roads. “Because there are a lot more motorcycles out there, we’re seeing more motorcycle crashes,” says Associate Research Scientist Patricia Turner with the Center for Transportation Safety at the Texas Transportation Institute (TTI). “Motorcycles can easily be overlooked and a crash often results in an injury or even death,” says Turner.  Lubbock has had 26 motorcycle deaths since 2008.  Helping to prevent those deaths is what this site is all about.  See Us, Save Us!
