Hello Bob,

 >> But.... Bob IS a senile old man - he cannot even ride a motorcycle anymore.
 >> Life is over when it comes to that.

 JD>> And how close are you to that age?  I would not ride a
 JD>> motorcyle if the world would end if I did not.  I think
 JD>> they are the most unsafe method of travel ever.

BK>Motor Scooters are more dangerous IMO. They are less stable. A
BK>motor cycle is as safe as a bicycle at the same speed, only the
BK>cycle is capable of much more speed.

That would depend.  Is the rider wearing a helmet?  Or not?  And even
if the rider is riding a helmet, at a high rate of speed it would make
no difference.  Whether on bicycle, scooter, or motorcycle.

BK>Ok, be careful of poping wheelies.

Evel Knievel always wore a helmet.  Well, most of the time.
Not that it mattered, as he still broke damn near every bone
in his body.  Some of them more than once.
