How many bikes in your town?

[kawazzr]

Came across this article on Boston.com.

sorry if this is a repost.

Not quite sure why this is tracked at this level, but interesting anyway!

Works for me but im not from MA.

[Vulcan1500]

I wonder how it compares to cars per 1000 residents?

[TheIglu]

49.4

THAT'S RIGHT BITCHES!

(if they only knew how many I had in the basement, our numbers for royalston would jump by 4, literally, we only have 1376 people and I have 7 bikes but only two registered)

Its geting blocked here @ work will check later.

and the combined value is less than a tank full of 87 octane gas

ha, I'm a little bit of an anomaly in my town...we're in the bottom 1/4 of density; so I don't think a whole lot of people in my town are really motorcycle owners

I wonder if this includes ORVs...if so I contribute 1% to my town's #'s and bring our rank up by 2

[RandyO]

NH is highest motorcycle ownership per capita state in the country

states without adult helmet laws have 50% higher per capita ownership on average, than states that have helmet laws

That's a really wierd statistic. Where'd you come across that?

[schleppy]

70 in my town. Waaaaaaay more than I thought there would be.

[Kenn157]

305 in Salisbury

[Paul_E_D]

Is that street bikes? Cause the numbers are really gonna change if you add in ORVs. Anyway, my little burg has a respectable 36.9/1000

the stastistic about NH being highest per capita in country, I thought was common knowledge, I have heard it in the new media several times, even being spouted by our governor in a speech

But, actual documentation of that statistic I haven't actually found, but in looking for it, I found the other statistic, don't ask me to go looking for the link

believe it or not, for a lot of riders, the helmet takes the fun right out of riding

Huh, I'd think Cali would be the most.

[Punjistick]

17/1000 in my town

[spicy]

all it really seems to show is that it's inversely proportional to how urban the area is. once you go out to western ma, it goes up to like 40-60/1000, whereas immediately surrounding boston, it's in the low teens, with the suburbs going up from 15-22/1000 or so...

[elissama]

12.6 in Andover. Pathetic.

Huh, I rode around my condo complex to get the mail once, without a helmet, and totally freaked out the whole time. But I know/see alot of people without em'.

Calculated it out the other night, total cost to me of purchasing stands at $8750.

They all do what I want them to do, I don't have to worry about them getting stolen and every single one is paid for

[RandyO]

Huh, I'd think Cali would be the most.

they probably do, in total number, cause they are the the most populus state,

but not per capita, not even close.
