New Zealand Out-Rides the World

NEW ZEALAND OUT-RIDES THE WORLD

Isn't it bad enough those Kiwis gave our red-white-and-blue behinds a shel-lacking in the America’s Cup competition? Now, it seems New Zealand can lay claim to being the most active motorcycling nation in the world. In a study just published by the Federation Internationale Motorcycliste, New Zealand leads all countries, with 280 riders for every 100,000 inhabitants. How’d the Land of the Free, Home of the Brave fare, you ask? A whacking great total of 0.7 riders per 100,000 citizens, next to last of the 31 countries studied. Hey, at least we beat Algeria! Worldwide, the average was 13.5 riders per 100,000 inhabitants.
