His last freedom ride, shame he didn't wear any protection?

RiP old fella.

i wonder what that choice of letting go of your freedom at that age must feel like.

A sad event. As a fellow 81 years old I have given up driving cars this year because I am not confident that my reaction times are as quick as they should be. Must be even more critical if riding motor bikes.

He probably forgot to counter steer and just went off the road.

I suspect  he was focused on swiping left more than steering right.
