Volume 8, Issue 1: Spring 2012

As many riders and their motorcycles emerge from their long winter hibernation, we call attention in this issue to important facts about motorcycle crashes. Researchers Steven L. Jones, Jr. and Saravanan Gurupackiam shine the spotlight on Alabama. Their findings, considered in relation to other studies--from the Hurt report in 1981 to the present, in the United States and elsewhere--outline new directions for continued research.

Our reviewers are engaging in deep contemplation about long-distance riding. Steven Alford considers Melissa Holbrook Pierson's latest book, while Christian Pierce reviews a Canadian film many of us may have missed.
