Current Goal

This coin is being released to help raise awareness of bikes on the road.

Some Situations When Crashes are Most Likely to Occur.

Car making a left turn: A driver is attempting a left turn in front of you.

Riding in a driver's blind spot: You are riding in the driver's blind spot and the driver may not see the motorcycle. Additionally, the driver may fail to adequately check blind spots before changing lanes or making turn.

Hazardous road conditions: Potholes, wet leaves, railroad tracks and other road obstructions may dictate that you take an action that a driver may not or does not anticipate.

Obstructed line of sight: Large vehicles, such as sport utility vehicles, delivery vans, and large trucks may block a motorcycle from a driver's view and you may seem to suddenly appear.

About This Item

Over two-thirds of car-motorcycle crashes are caused by drivers, not by motorcyclists. The driver either does not see the oncoming motorcyclist at all or does not see the motorcyclist in time to avoid a crash.

Make yourself visible to motorists!

This coin is in memory of Todie Phillips of Manitou Beach, MI. He passed away August 12 2008 as a result of a motorcycle accident, he was only 49 years old.

If you can, help us raise awareness of bikers on the roads by releasing a coin of your own!

    Well, that was a cold ride. Glad it isn't far, and glad not many people are out tonight. The cold air sure helps to clear one's head though!

    I don't know, just seems so senseless to me.

    For God's sake, please wear a real helmet when riding and RIDE DEFENSIVELY!! I'm working on a coin which will convey some of my thoughts on this. Might be out around early spring...just in time for riding season!!

    My bike will come in the house as soon as the ground firms up a bit, kitchen is waiting for it. I'll polish and shine her and get her ready for the new year! And I'll think of Tod often while doing this!!

    Sitting here sorta feeling a bit blue, it's 2:30 and no sleep for me again. can't stop thinking and that doesn't let me sleep, so I'm sitting here. I miss my friend.

    I'm heading over right now to visit for awhile, I need to talk to him. I really appreciate this coin, THANKS for sending it out and I can't get over how it made it ionto my hands just at this time.

    What a tragedy some dumb driver can cause, this is so senseless. Please protect others around you and drive safely and responsibly, the life you save could be mine.

    Maybe I'll add more thoughts in a bit...

    Really missing you Tod!
