The overall experience was good

The overall experience was good, but I did find a number of errors as your data related to motorcycles was either out of date, or errant "common knowledge". An example of the latter is the statement that motorcycles can stop faster that automobiles. This is patently wrong. No vehicle can stop quicker that a 1G stopping force (just plain physics) and only a professional motorcycle rider on a race-quality motorcycle with warm tires can even approach that, and that is if he can control a "stoppie". Motorcycles have a small contact patch on each of two wheels and a car as 4 much larger contact patches in proportion to the total weight being stopped. Too many motorcycle riders believe this myth and that is the reason that in the vast majority of motorcycle/Auto rear end collisions the motorcycle is the STRIKING vehicle. The best example of being incorrect I emailed directly to your office on 6/22. It is regarding OAR 814.200 that was changed about a decade ago when I was in my tenure on the governors advisory committee for motorcycle safety. We made it legal to stand astride of a motorcycle.
