    There is not an evident skew, and you haven’t been able to articulate the source of one.

    The number of miles motorcycles are ridden and the number of motorcycle deaths is unfortunately not a small sample size, so your shopping cart example isn’t really a great analogy.

      2022 study, motorcycles accounted for 3.7% of all vehicles sold but only 0.7% of all miles travelled. It is too small a samples size to be a good comparison.

        0.7% of all miles travelled is still a pretty fucking large number, infact, according to these numbers 0.7% off all vehicle miles in 2022 was still was 224 Billion miles

          OK , that is a lot then. Which makes sense for USA - being so stretched out compared to other countries.
