    The headline was typically misleading, but I thought the content of the article was pretty sound..... and quite sobering too. That's a lot of deaths in a short time. If I understand you Actung, (which I probably don't), the gist of your complaint is that you can control your bike just fine thankyouverymuch and resent the implication that old geezers like you are responsible for a number of the crash stats. I reckon there are a few corpses who used to feel the same way.

    Not everyone has the time or ability or inclination to write the masterful prose that some of you write. Give the guy a break: he usually makes sense - you just might have to read it a few times.

    Depressing really, the same tired old cliches trotted out yet again. As for the "born agains" being out-ridden by their bikes; many modern bikes are capable of far more than their riders. I know mine is

    The fact remains that there has been a blip in the statistics, so it may pay us all to pause and think about how we ride?

    What I find depressing is the number of 50 -70 year old motorcyclists that I come in contact with who seem to be going through a second childhood.
