According to the national Highway traffic safety administration in 2005 the average age of motorcycle riders killed in accidents has risen in the past 10 years. While riders 50 years and older accounted for the steepest climb in motorcycle fatalities in 2005 there have been large increases in crash deaths of riders age 40 and older.

The predictions for 2006 are that deaths from motorcycle accidents will rise for the ninth straight years. The national Highway traffic safety administration predicts that there will be nearly 5000 deaths when all of the statistics are in for 2006.
