Hi all,
I have been riding since 1970, on a 175 BSA. My bikes have gotten bigger and faster, as I have gotten bigger and slower. I still have butterflies everytime I ride.
I notice a lot of new older riders, do not have that fear. They ride in bunches, and can not corner. I think that it is very hard to learn to ride when you start out at 40 plus on a big bike. You never learn in the same instinctive way that you can when you are a teen. This is especially true in emergency stops or turns.
