Dog and myself need the wind on our face, and it's called ... 'FREEDOM' No, you'll never see me an a mobility scooter, simple too slow. Maybe a trike If I can't hold up a real MC, maybe get one of these, as they'll still do a good speed.
October 24, 2025Oct 24 It's mostly hand to mouth here. People eat rice at the corner. Whenever I return to visit the USA I am amazed how much food is in the house. Did you know that mice are so fit & healthy because they eat when needed? Some store food, but only for the winter.

Again, it's not the machine, it's the operator. 44 yrs riding MC, 25 yrs in TH, AND 19 yrs in the more dangerous USA, and nobody has hit me yet. It's called 'defensive driving' If I went by stats, I guess I should never get in a car either. You people are silly and simply don't know how to enjoy yourselves. I can't live in a bubble.

I seriously doubt you were there, but in no position to state otherwise If you didn't hang out on Beach road you wouldn't get attacked by ladyboys and c'mon now ... you loved it. I'm 64 approaching 65 not 80 and in decent shape. Most bar girlies guess my age 47-55. BMI 21.5. I'm guessing you're in sad shape TBH. Don't go away mad - just go away

I agree that it is a lot less dangerous..............probably more dangerous is any denial of the risks. To suggest that motocys are as safe/safer than cars is ludicrous.

I've got several years left in me. My situational awareness while driving borders on paranoia but it is necessary in urban traffic. I don't get your thinking when you say 'Riding at your age is selfish'.
