OK. Still looking for the weekday stats, but there's some pretty interesting (and sobering) information available here http://www.iihs.org/iihs/topics/t/motorc...otorcycles
I took the following photos of a couple of screens from the site. The first shows time-of-day stats, but only for weekends. The second shows stats based on road type.

In Chicago, we don't seem to have as many bike crashes during rush-hour. Rather, the ones I see on TV happen just before the morning rush..like 4:00am-5:00am. It has long been my belief that many, if not most, of these riders are on their way home from a long night instead of on their way to work for an early start. (the preceding comment is based only on the poster's opinion not on any statistics whatsoever).
