Virginia Tech Motorcycle Study / Survey

[GG54172]

I got this email through the MSF communication forum. If you are interested, they would like you to take a survey

Dear Training Community,

During the next year, MSF will be exploring cooperative research projects with the Virginia Tech Transportation Institute. VTTI has been working extensively in the area of bike instrumentation (data recorders) for data collection. MSF is planning to collaborate on this work to learn more about how motorcyclists ride on the street and in training courses.

As VTTI moves forward, they are seeking input about how riders use their bikes and what sorts of research instrumentation they would be willing to accept. They have asked MSF to pass on this survey link to any interested riders. We would support the involvement of our RiderCoaches and RCTs. The survey is anonymous, unless you choose to provide your name for possible involvement in the on-road study. MSF will not receive any results, as the data collected will remain with VTTI.

Below is the url for the survey – please take a look and participate if you would like to. You are welcome to forward the link on to any other groups of riders you think may be interested in providing input. Thanks as always for making a difference as we all try to improve countermeasures for motorcyclists and drivers.

Greg,

 

Thanks for the forward. Filled out.

 

Anyone collecting additional information to achieve accurate motorcycle behavior data is OK in my book.

 

Even provided info if they want to wire me up.

 

How'd football end up?

Pants?

 

I presume they mean riding pants of some sort, but it gave me a chuckle.
