What 20 Years of Crash Data Taught Eric Teoh About Safety | Ep. 152

Send us Fan MailEric Teoh, Director of Statistical Services at the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) and Highway Loss Data Institute (HLDI), joins the One Gang Worldwide Podcast for a fascinating conversation about the crash data, research, and technology shaping the future of road safety.Eric shares how a background in mathematics and biostatistics led him to a career spanning more than two decades at IIHS, where he has helped analyze the real-world data behind vehicle crashes, motorcycle fatalities, and emerging safety technologies.Along the way, we discuss how crash studies are conducted, why modern vehicles often provide better protection than the "tank-like" cars of the past, and how technologies such as automatic emergency braking are helping reduce crashes before they happen.We also take a deep dive into motorcycle safety, covering helmet laws, ABS, rider behavior, fatality trends, and what the data reveals about risk across different types of motorcycles. Eric explains why some riders are more vulnerable than others, what factors contribute most to serious crashes, and how automakers are working to develop systems that can better recognize and respond to motorcycles on the road.Whether you're a rider, driver, industry professional, or simply curious about what the numbers actually say, this episode offers a rare behind-the-scenes look at the research that influences safety decisions across the transportation world.Connect with Eric: Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/eteohWebsite: https://www.iihs.org/Youtube: https://youtube.com/@iihs-hldiTiktok: https://www.tiktok.com/@iihs_autosafetyInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/iihs_autosafety/Facebook: https://facebook.com/iihs.org/Check Out Our Sponsors:SAVE 20% on Milwaukee Leather motorcycle gear!✅ Use promo code: CW20🛒 Shop here: https://milwaukeemotorcycleclothing.comConnect with Cycles Worldwide:Subscribe to our YouTube channel for more episodes:   YouTube:    / @cyclesworldwide  Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?...Instagram:    / cyclesworldwidellc  LinkedIn:    / sergey-tokman-2a78a6284  TikTok:    / cycles.worldwide  Timestamps:00:00 Helmet Laws Fatalities00:18 Podcast Welcome Intro01:48 Rapid Fire Icebreakers03:06 Motorcycle Attempts Stories05:36 Safety Habits Data Mindset07:43 Early Life Background08:57 Math Doctor To Stats12:45 NIH NIMH Internships16:26 Joining IIHS Career Path19:17 Crash Data Saves Lives22:39 Old Vs New Car Crash24:50 Cybertruck Design Safety27:31 Director Role Day To Day27:42 Statistical Rigor at IIHS28:41 How Data Becomes Safer Cars29:51 Crash Tests That Evolve30:52 AEB and Pedestrian Night Tests32:35 Driver Assist Reality Check33:29 What to Look for in Crash Data34:04 Influencing OEMs and Regulators34:58 US vs Europe Safety Programs36:52 Motorcycle Risk and Trends38:16 Supersports vs Cruisers Data40:43 Tiered Licensing and Enforcement42:58 Risky Riding and Brain Chemistry45:38 Misconceptions and ABS Progress47:20 Rider Tech and How to Study It50:12 One Change Helmet Laws52:03 Self Driving Cars and Motorcycles55:32 Detecting Motorcycles in AEB Tests57:26 Humility on the Road58:16 Where to Find IIHS Info59:01 30 by 30 and Final Thanks#OneGangWorldwidePodcast #EricTeoh #IIHS #MotorcycleSafety #CrashData #RoadSafety #VehicleSafety #TrafficSafety #MotorcyclePodcast #Powersports #RiderSafety #MotorcycleNews #ABSBrakes #RiderTraining #Motorcycles

From Iraq's Highway of Death to Harley-Davidson Financial | Braxton Hamilton | Ep. 151

Send us Fan MailBraxton Hamilton joins the One Gang Worldwide Podcast to share an incredible journey that took him from a difficult childhood to the United States Marine Corps, into the heart of post-war Iraq, and ultimately into a leadership role within the Harley-Davidson industry.Braxton opens up about the challenges that shaped him, the lessons learned through military service, and the life-changing decision to leave the comfort of home to help rebuild Iraq's economy during one of the most volatile periods in modern history. Working alongside local business owners, community leaders, and everyday citizens determined to rebuild their lives, those experiences would later inspire his memoir, Highway of Death.We discuss leadership, resilience, faith, purpose, and the power of human connection in places where hope often seemed impossible. Braxton also shares how those experiences continue to influence his work supporting Harley-Davidson dealers and helping businesses create stronger cultures, better customer experiences, and lasting relationships.This is a story about overcoming adversity, embracing uncertainty, and discovering that some of life's greatest opportunities can be found on the roads we never expected to travel.Connect with Braxton: Book: https://www.amazon.com/Highway-Death-Memoir-Revitalizing-Middle-ebook/dp/B0FQ3JP35MFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/braxton.hamilton.427521/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/braxtonehamilton/Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/braxton-hamilton-b6730353Check Out Our Sponsors:SAVE 20% on Milwaukee Leather motorcycle gear!✅ Use promo code: CW20🛒 Shop here: https://milwaukeemotorcycleclothing.com Connect with Cycles Worldwide:Subscribe to our YouTube channel for more episodes:   YouTube:    / @cyclesworldwide  Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?...Instagram:    / cyclesworldwidellc  LinkedIn:    / sergey-tokman-2a78a6284  TikTok:    / cycles.worldwide  Timestamps:00:00 From Stereotypes to Respect00:17 Podcast Welcome and Guest Intro02:12 Rapid Fire Bikes and Sales04:13 Travel Stories Jordan and Petra06:27 Harley Heroes and Leadership11:31 Dream Garage and Harley History15:03 Office Stories and Sponsor Break17:21 Growing Up Wild on the River19:22 Pastor Mentorship and Faith21:06 Marines to Crisis Intervention27:56 Why He Said Yes to Iraq31:21 Seeing Iraq Up Close32:15 Arrival Shock in Baghdad34:12 Rebuilding Through Local Manufacturing35:43 Kurdistan Wool Rug Mission39:30 Business Dignity Lessons40:57 Government Roadblocks and Wins42:49 Why Highway of Death43:55 Mindset Humor and Coming Home46:53 Finding Harley-Davidson50:16 Role at HDFS and Sales Process54:28 Dealer Culture Under New Leadership01:00:43 Consumer Trends and Financing Care01:06:15 Book Takeaways Faith and Relationships01:08:35 Where to Follow and Final Thanks#BraxtonHamilton #HarleyDavidson #HighwayOfDeath #OneGangWorldwide #MotorcyclePodcast #HarleyDealer #DealerCulture #Leadership #VeteranStories #MarineCorps #MotorcycleIndustry #FaithAndLeadership #BusinessLeadership #Powersports #HarleyLife
