    Community Attitudes to Road Safety - Community Attitudes Survey Wave 19,
    2006 http://www.atsb.gov.au/publications/2006/CR229_Commuity_Attit.aspx

    "This report documents the findings from the Australian Transport Safety
    Bureaus latest survey of community attitudes to road safety. The
    nineteenth in a series of national surveys on community attitudes to
    road safety was conducted in February and March 2006. A total of 1,644
    interviews were conducted with persons aged 15 years and over. The
    issues examined include: perceived causes of road crashes, exposure
    and attitudes to random breath testing, attitudes to speed, perceptions
    of police enforcement, mobile phone use while driving, reported usage
    of seat belts, involvement in road crashes, and experience of fatigue
    while driving."


    This is about attitudes, or at least the ones admitted to. but down
    in 7.4:

    Questions relating to the incidence of respondents travelling by
    motorcycle on the road in the last twelve months, as either riders or
    passengers, were introduced to the survey program in 1999.

    Specifically the questions asked were;
    "Have you personally driven a motorcycle on the road in the
    last year?"...and,
    "Have you been a passenger on a motorcycle on the road in the
    last year?"

    Looking at the incidence of riding a motorcycle on the road in the last
    year, 2006 survey results show that 53% of motorcycle licence holders
    (whether Learner's permit, Provisional or Full licence holders) had
    ridden on the road in the 12 months. Results for the last few years are
    55% in 2005, 41% in 2004 and 59% in 2003.15

    The incidence of having ridden a motorcycle on the road in the last year
    expressed as a percentage of the survey population is shown in Table
    7.4a. Consistent with 2005 results, this data shows that the on-road use
    of motorcycles is much more common for males (12%) than females (1%),
    and most common amongst those aged 25 to 39 (10%).

    Frequent distance drivers were more likely to have ridden a motorcycle
    in the last 12 months (at 13%). The state/territory with the highest
    proportion of motorcyclists was Tasmania, where one in ten persons aged
    15 years and over had ridden a motorcycle on the road in the last 12
    months. The 2005 result for Tasmania was 6%. The 2006 results also show
    that 7% of the sampled population had been a passenger on a motorcycle
    on the road in the last year.

    You don't find a girl who rides that you like, you find a girl you like
    and help them get their licence. Jeez.

    It's not a simple question of quantity, Theo, there is the quality
    aspect to be examined.

    BTW, John, is that Ally that is now doing CD's of opera?

    I have to confess I don't know Cam, I've not spoken to her in years,
    although I'd be curious to know how she's going. I think Tim and/or
    Biggun may have stayed in touch (J5 too ?)

  18. Not me, I haven't seen her since she was (late to work) at MCA in
    Parramatta a a while back... I got sms from her (thinks, 2 houses ago,
    probably 4 years back) saying her bike had been stolen, then another a
    few days later saying it had been recovered...
