You can always see over the handlebars. ;-) it's short legs that are my problem!

OTOH, the Social Security Solvency Committee insists that nothing less than 100 horsepower at the rear wheel will make you feel young again.

Another tip from a 50 year (no accidents:-) rider:
Ride with the assumption that no one can see you.
This tip is null and void if you're too old to see those who can't see you.

- Replace your current speedometer with a "Joan Claybrook" 85mph version.

If you ride a Harley, you can claim the Depends in the saddlebags are for the bike.

Reacting to a hazard may take twice as long for a rider in middle age (40 to 54)...
What a crock! Everyone knows that middle age starts at 65. It does, you know, it really does. It does, godammit.

My Uncle rode a Harley until the day he died at age 84 - in a motorcycle accident. A truck pulled out in front of him. It was in no way his fault.
He drove his Harley regularly between Miami, Florida and Chicago, Illinois.

Choose a motorcycle with large dials and easy-to-read symbols. Okay.
