We were working on getting an interview with him. His findings are still very very relevant even though the study is over 30 years old. I think every motorcyclist should read it (or at least the summary of the report) because it goes over the major causes of accidents.

Our blog posting here is where you can find more information and also where you can download a copy of the report.
