Motorcycling is still one of the fastest growing recreational pursuits in the Boomer generation, and motorcycle sales in general continue on an upward trend in North America.
Low interest rates and all of that gosh darned money us Boomers have to throw at the toys means that there are ever increasing numbers of riders on the road. Alas, only a small percentage take the initiative to have formal training in the craft, so I think that it is inevitable that we will continue to see increasing stats of motorcycle related acccidents.... Throw the squids into the mix and away we go: yet more 'shock, horror' sensational news stories.
