You may have heard of the "Hurt Report".  This was a study - the most comprehensive of its kind, ever - of nearly 5,000 motorcycle accidents, by researcher Harry Hurt.  Lessons learned from the Hurt Report have helped manufacturers, state governments, and safety instructors make the roads safer for motorcycles - but there are still risks.

There are several findings summarized from the overall report, ranging from information on helmet use, insurance, alcohol, etc.  To me, the scariest of these findings are:

Approximately three-fourths of these motorcycle accidents involved collision with another vehicle, which was most often a passenger automobile.

The failure of motorists to detect and recognize motorcycles in traffic is the predominating cause of motorcycle accidents. The driver of the other vehicle involved in collision with the motorcycle did not see the motorcycle before the collision, or did not see the motorcycle until too late to avoid the collision. 

It is crucial that we make ourselves visible to motorists.  I know of no better way to ensure that you are seen than to use a headlight modulator.

Kisan pathBlazer modulators are designed to be easy to install on all sorts of motorcycles.  Most bikes simply require removing the cable from the back of the headlight bulb, plugging the pathBlazer into the bulb, and then plugging the cable back into the pathBlazer.  A daylight sensor, attached to the module by a cable, then just needs to be fastened such that it can see the sky (in order to turn off modulation at night).

Headlight modulators are legal throughout the United States, on the basis of federal authority.  No state law may usurp this authority.  They are also permitted throughout Canada.  Installing a pathBlazer can dramatically improve your odds of safe riding.
