      I never would have guessed the incidence of motorcycles hitting other vehicles from behind.

      Seems like a lot of car to car collisions are from rear end accidents as well, however I didn't see anything about other vehicles hitting motorcycles from behind.

        I lived it, November 15 this year. Problem is no dash cams that I have found as of yet. There was also the TRUCK that killed a few riders in AZ. A group was waiting at a light, and the truck came up from behind and went through them. This was about two years ago.

          I was speaking to the incident you had, should have cited it.

          I'm saying that from the standpoint that I hear about those types of collisions in the news or otherwise, but the report did not mention that as being experienced by those in the study.

            Bonz other than DiverRay i have read on here of people rear ended on their bikes though they were stopped at the time of the collision unlike Ray's high speed incident. Which we are all glad he survived and could tell us about.
            Sadly so many end with dead motorcycle rider and the details are not released.
