And who can identify those folks over the internet?

I'd like to see some numbers that show that crashing has no relation to the displacement or type of bike. I'm not buying it.

The thing is you'd have a hard time "proving" that displacement/type of bike was the sole cause the accident as well. I've seen people crash 250s and I've seen them crash 'Busas,for most it was panic that put them down and not cc's.
