Boomer bikers urged to take training courses

"This year's Bike Week in New Hampshire was one of the deadliest in memory. Ten people died during the event, the highest total in at least six years, according to the New Hampshire Highway Safety Agency. Thomson has urged bikers to take training courses, offered by the state and private instructors. Of the 69 people who died in motorcycle crashes in 2004 and 2005, only three of the bikers had taken the training. He said the training would especially benefit newer bikers, many of whom are baby boomers who are riding for the first time or haven't ridden for years."
