Supersport motorcyclists’ death rate: 4 times higher than cruiser motorcycles
Steven Gursten in the Ocala Times on how the dangers of supersports affect younger bikers
Steve Gursten was interviewed by a Florida newspaper Ocala.com, as it’s always motorcycle riding season in Florida.
Steve is one of a handful of national lawyers who handles serious motorcycle accident lawsuits, and the newspaper sought him out for his expert opinion on Supersport accidents.
