In his new book "Motorcycle Cancer?" author Randall Dale Chipkar of Canada explores the science behind the Electromagnectic energy given off by our motorcycles and its possible link to cancer.

Mr. Chipkar believes that helmets aren't enough for motorcyclists to protect themselves. "Unsuspecting riders are at risk for cancer development from electromagnetic radiation shooting up right between their legs." "It's a paradox that thousands of motorcycle riders participate in annual fundraiser rides for cancer awareness when the event itself may be
causing cancer," says Chipkar.

During the last week of September 2007, Joseph McPhatter, accompanied by two other riders was traveling inside the Baltimore beltway on Interstate 83 following the speed of traffic; he changed lanes only to be cut off by a driver who then hit the brakes. Joseph plowed into the back of the car and was ejected 100 feet in the air hitting the ground at an impact rate of 140 mph.

An accident resulting in a motorcycle being cut off by a four wheeled driver is an all too familiar scenario for many of us. But Joseph had an extra safety feature that most of us don't have.
