Fully agree Phadreus. So let me add that the COST study did not include racing or race tracks at all. Why ? My guess is that the conditions on a race track simply do not translate to the situation on our streets. Just to name a few reasons: race track riders go all in one direction, more or less parallel to each other (Yes, I know .... until ... you hit the other m/c). Race tracks are protected spaces, no curb stones, no fences, no trees. etc. It's all nicy nice flat and clean. And finally there is no opposing traffic (brings the "true speed" up by 2x), and no crossing traffic (uhh, adds to the rotational forces). Thanks for your interesting answer.
