abstract="This article is based on a recent study by University of Michigan Transportation Research Institute showing that baby boomers make up nearly two-thirds of all motorcycle crashes in the state as well as a growing number of deaths. The number of licensed motorcyclists in Michigan has increased among people over age 45, but decreased for riders under age 45. Between 2001 and 2005 the number of motorcycle crashes rose by nine percent, while the crash rate per licensed rider increased more than 30 percent for older riders and only six percent for those under 45. Researchers suspect that the greater number of motorcycle fatalities among older riders occurs due to the fragility of older bodies.<p />",
