Motorcycle riding is more popular today than ever before. In fact, according to the U.S. Department of Transportation, there were more than 7.1 million motorcycles on the road in 2007 and sales for 2008 topped nearly 1.1 million. While motorcycle enthusiasts come from all different backgrounds, these days it seems to be attracting a large number of older, more experienced enthusiasts from affluent backgrounds. Unfortunately, even the most experienced motorcycle riders can have an accident, and in many cases it is by no fault of their own.
