I guess many 85 year olds would be proud of themselves to be able to ride a motorcycle at that age and I guess this poor ol bloke died in silent glory in what he loved doing most in life. 85 years of age is a pretty good innings i reckon...beats rotting in a nursing home.

I did find it interesting that, fairly recently, I attended a funeral for a bike riding friend, and it struck me that I really should start riding about _much_ faster than I currently do. At my present typical speed, I'd possibly survive a serious mis-cue, and, to maintain hopes for a clean-cut ending, I'd have to speed up my ideas more than a little. regards, CrazyCam >> Stay informed about: 85 YO rider dies after losing control of bike.

Well, I know a couple of 80-odd yo folk who might well fit into that scenario. Personally, <sigh> I'll settle for riding faster. regards, CrazyCam >> Stay informed about: 85 YO rider dies after losing control of bike.
