This coin is being released to help raise awareness of bikes on the roads...a message to automobile drivers-
Why Didn't I See That Motorcycle?
Drivers tend to look for other cars, not motorcycles.
Because of its smaller profile, a motorcycle is harder to see and you may find it more difficult to estimate the motorcycle's speed.
The motorcyclist's riding pattern is different from your driving pattern. Different actions may be needed for the same driving or highway situation. For example, you may ignore a piece of road debris as a driver; however, that same piece of road debris may be deadly for a motorcyclist.
Traffic, weather, and road conditions require a motorcyclist to react differently than a driver, thus it is more difficult for you to judge and to predict cues that may require the motorcyclist to take an evasive action.
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.
Lets all do our part to prevent this type of needless accidents.
Help us raise awareness of motorcycles on the road by releasing a coin of your own!
