Not a moto rider but find this thread very interesting as a road cyclist. I have the same misgivings about people texting, talking on their phones as well as the aging population, not to mention, let’s call them, new Americans.

No matter how attentive I am checking where people are looking always a fear of being taken out from behind.

As a result 90% of my riding is trail. It’s a challenge physically and mentally as well as being out in nature which I really enjoy. The danger are the risks I chose to take and how hard I chose to push it. Just like driving a car at 9/10s, mtn biking give me the same excitement and is constant skill building. More than you wanted to know.

Two wheels on the road is just getting too risky for this 60 year old.
