Read this yesterday, and this sentence really pissed me off.
Data on motorbike size was not available to the researchers, but they suggested that older adults were more likely to buy bikes with larger engines - leading to more severe injuries.
Complete bullshit on the researchers part - we've got no numbers, so let's just make up a story, putting bikers in a bad light, because it makes us look good.
I don't have the numbers to hand, but I've got a feeling most ksi accidents happen on town, where the power of the machine is irrelevant (and are more likely to be small commuter machines), and are as a result of myopic cages anyway.
Fecking shoddy journalism /rant
