Motorcycle fatalities had declined by at least 2 percent last year, according to a report by the Governors Highway Safety Association (GHSA), the American Motorcyclist Association (AMA) reports.

Based on preliminary data, the GHSA projects that fatalities declined from 4,465 in 2009 to 4,376 or fewer in 2010. The data is based on 50 states and the District of Columbia.
