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!

    GeoPig took the TBs to visit The Mouth of Truth to find out if there were any liars in the group. All of the TBs emerged still intact even though a couple of them looked quite worried as they approached the mouth.

    GeoPig will upload pictures when we get home.

    • Mouth of Truth This sculpture is well known for being in the movie Roman Holiday, but its most famous characteristic is its role as a lie detector. Starting from the Middle Ages, it was believed that if one told a lie with one's hand in the mouth of the sculpture, it would be bitten off. Of course, all of the TBs passed the test. :)
