Abstract:
More than 38,000 motorcyclists have died in single vehicle motorcycle crashes between 1975 and 1999. Motorcyclist

fatalities in single vehicle crashes decreased each year from 1990 to 1996, reaching a historic low of 937 in 1996 and

again in 1997. In 1998 and again in 1999 the fatalities increased to 1,042 (11.2%) in 1998 and to 1,140 (9.4%) in 1999.

The overall increase in motorcyclist fatalities from 1997 to 1999 was 203 (21.7%).

Motorcyclist fatalities in single vehicle crashes account for about 45 percent of all motorcyclist fatalities. With such a

high percentage of motorcyclist fatalities in single vehicle motorcycle crashes, this report was written to provide insight

into the possible causes for these fatalities.
