Having gone down more than once on motorcycles when young, I have no desire to ride them anymore considering how long it would take to heal at the age of 58.

When I see folks my age and older riding around on their bikes I have to wonder if they have ever gone down on one.

I know I would still love riding one, but just don't want the risk. I would rather be able to go on a hike with my grandchildren.

There is a very nice fellow who I see at the y when I go over to exercise who had a bad accident years ago on his harley. His one leg is about two inches shorter and rigid. I imagine it even is problematic when he swims.
