This surprises me, since most Bikers are older than Moses and need walkers and depends.

Out of respect for Musica, I'm going to bite my tongue, but let me say that this statement makes me question the prayers I've offered up towards your comfort while Musica was ill...

While I don't consider myself a "biker," I do ride, and I've only met a few "One Percenters" over the years. The vast majority of the "bikers" I've met have been at charity rallies, and all seemed like decent, working men and women, who simply have a love of riding, like myself.

I've only found myself in a "biker bar" twice - it was with some co-workers many years ago, two of whom WERE "One Percenters," the first time was terrific, we just had a good time and a few beers and left. The second time a fight broke out, and all I did was turn around, then woke up on the sidewalk out back behind the bar about 20 minutes later. That was the last time I went drinking with those guys after work.

And I happen to like seeing guys older than me on bikes. And I know quite a few who could ride me into the ground on track days... One in particular, riding a Ducati Elephant (a 900cc dual sport bike) was putting guys on track-prepped Suzukis to shame! And he's in his early 70s. He's a great guy, and a terrific teacher, both on the track and off.

I don't think you understand my perspective -- Musica never picked on anyone just because she could.

Most of these bullies also wasted their youth and now are aged well before their time. They are suffering physically and I hope they are in agony morally.

I remember what it was like to suffer at their hands. I find it extremely difficult not to feel satisfaction that it is they who suffer now.
