It sure seems that way doesn’t it? So sad, I don’t recall way back when I used to ride with there being so many, however, the current amount of fatalities was the same as back then. The latest stats I could find was up to the year 2012, http://www.ghsa.org/html/publications/spotlight/motorcycle2012.html
