Very interesting ,Paul.   

I always called every ride, an attitude adjuster.  Driving a roadster comes close but still isn't the same.

Good article.

Yes it is. 

Mental alertness and quick, accurate thinking seem to suffer a bit with age.  Not only do I feel better, but I think better after riding. 

If the soccer moms don't try to kill me, the thinking is happier and less evil in nature.   tickedoff Grin

You mean riding a motorcycle no longer causes cancer?

Okay, here's my plan.

I'm removing the windshield so I can challenge my core.
I'm removing my foot and highway pegs so I can strengthen my quads and knees.
I'm switching to a heavier helmet to enhance my neck strength.
I'm switching to shorts, tank top, and flip-flops to maximize my vitamin D.
I'm looking for down-facing parking spots so I can burn extra calories. Maybe an even heavier bike.

Only one question - I know a lot of bikers with really great attitudes but few that are in great physical condition. Hmmmmm.

Let's ride!  Cheesy cooldude  2funny
