Motorcycle Safety & Driveability: Motorcycle Safety Expert, pat hahn, court deposition

Question
Pat, do you know of a Safety Expert similar to yourself how would be in Illinois, preferably the Northwest suburbs of Chicago.  I need an expert for a court deposition.  Is this something you would consider doing?  I can give you more details upon your request.

Thanks,

Joe Rauch

Answer
I don't know anyone personally in that area. I would consider doing it (have done so before) but have no time to spare until about a year from now. My boss, however, Steve Garets, does this sort of thing all the time. He's based in Oregon and a nationally-recognized expert in the field. If you shoot me a note with the details at pat.hahn@oregonstate.edu I will pass it along to him to follow up.

An expert closer to home would be Mark Brown of MotoMark1 down in North Carolina. He is also an expert, runs his own training school, and is a motorcycle officer for the state highway patrol. I'd trust him any day, and he is a good friend. I can put you in touch with him as well. There's also Jim Davis down in Houston. Eric Trow in Pennsylvania. Ken Condon in Massachusetts. I can pass your request along to any of them, just let me know what works best.
