Marine motorcycle deaths top their Iraq combat fatalities

I just saw this head line on CNN.com. It's a really scary statistic. The story went on to say that twenty-five Marines have died in motorcycle crashes since November and all but one of them involving sport bikes.

I am not going to bash sport bikes I just hope the Military react quickly to help solve this horrible problem. Apparently the Marine Corps  already has a mandatory basic riders training course set up for all Marines who own a motorcycle, but evidently that course isn't helping. I hope they figure something out fast.
