What are the statistics per mile travelled I wonder?
Surely that's the best way to figure out if there's a problem? Rather than looking at historical figures and realising that "hey - older riders are making up a bigger crash death rate", how about instead looking at the death rate per mile travelled for each age demographic, and then decide whether or not the older riders represent a higher proportion of motorcycling deaths than the younger riders.
