Great info - but I think I should receive some sort of degree after reading all that

I haven't read the entire thing, but I would take that entire article with a large grain of salt. From just the first couple of screens it's obvious the author has an axe to grind. He (or she) doesn't seem to cite sources where all these wacky numbers come from. And this  sentence:

"This is the government's official justification for its War on Drink Driving, propagated to the public through the corporate media."

just reeks of subjectivity.

GYROSCOPIC STABILITY, CAMBER THRUST,COUNTERSTEERING,GYROSCOPIC PRECESSION granted the author does hold a grudge aganst the government but everything a new rider needs to know about how a motorcycle works is in here.

Drink Driving? Does it really say that?

Millions of Americans love motorcycling, and over 300,000 new motorbikes are purchased every year, at an investment of up to $40,000 each—a lot of money for a "mood" vehicle.

are they kidding?

Link doesn't work for me.

good reading. i agree that he seems to have an axe to grind, and that he injects too much criticism of the government/etc in with the motorcycle analysis. i also don't agree with his downplaying the effect of riding a motorcycle while under the influence (doesn't the hurt report say something about this?). still, very very useful especially for a noob like me.

while we're on the subject of links to useful info, i've found the master strategy group site useful:
http://www.msgroup.org/DISCUSS.asp
and i've seen it mentioned around here as well.

If you like that information you should read "Proficient Motorcycling" by David L. Hough. It has lots of very useful information while stating sources and without saying government every other sentence.

His axe seems to be that drinking and riding is an insignificant risk factor; but understanding countersteering could reduce riding accidents by "virtually 100%".  He does go on to show many of examples of good technique, but I don't think you need to understand countersteering to use it; in emergency situations, nobody has time to think "Yow, I've got to turn left... better turn the bars right!".
