******************* THIS IS A STOLEN COIN ************************

This coin’s mission is to raise bike awareness; riding safely takes everyone’s cooperation and patience. It's a painful fact of life that motorcycle riders are 30 times more likely to be killed in a crash than any other vehicle drivers.

On August 12, 2008, Tod was riding a motorcycle when he was killed in an accident caused by a left turning vehicle. Tod was the third member of Team Rod & Tod w/KAboom. This coin is released in his memory and in memory of all motorcyclists killed on the road.
