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!

    Antalya, Turkey - One more port with no caches close to the pier. 😟 That’s okay - GeoPig and the TBs spent quite a strenuous and adventurous day hiking up a mountain to the ruins and a cave and walking down plenty of steps to a beautiful waterfall. They returned to the ship exhausted and spent the rest of the evening at the spa. 😁

    • Termossos National Park Yep - that's the mountain we're going to hike. The TBs looked a little worried when they heard it was a 45 minute strenuous hike to the top.

    • Time to rest - yes, the rocks are really that big!
    • The view as we reach the top of the mountain

    • Our last stop - Kursunlu Waterfalls Thank goodness we didn't have to hike up anything, but there were an awful lot of steps going down!
