Baby Boomer Motorcyclists Hit the Road--Literally

Data from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration indicates that motorcyclists between 40 and 49 years of age had a 140% increase in fatalities from 1997-2004, with only 25% of these fatalities due to increased ridership. As the motorcycle industry continues to report record sales 14 years in a row, the industry and the government are looking to curb a rising number of injuries and deaths. They're encouraging motorcyclists to ride sober, wear protective gear such as helmets, take training courses and get licensed. Older riders are advised to take experienced rider classes.
