To paraphrase another saying:
There are old ~~pilots~~ riders and bold ~~pilots~~ riders,
but there are NO old, bold ~~pilots~~ riders...!

Now is there a lesson in this one Question

If you want to end up being an old rider, you better not be too bold. Question

I would say that if you want to live to be a happy old rider, be a sensible and responsible rider (which not necessarily exclude being bold sometimes) Very Happy

Maybe it is different for Pilots Question

Basic principle here is - know your personal limitations and know your bikes limitations and never exceed that - rather live to ride another day. You should in fact never exceed 90% of both aspects - as riding to close to 100% is not worth your life. Idea

What if your guardian angel flies faster than your own or your bike's capability Question

Maybe one should offer the guardian angel a lift.
On a more serious note though, I agree with LeRoy, stay within your capabilities, and that is probably the one advantage of the "older" riders, they are not so easily tempted by peer pressure Idea

Question - site says 101 users registered, yet in the memberlist there is only 99 as of this time.

Why the difference in numbers?

It’s only the default sort by criteria “Last visit” that is reflecting 99.

Others like "Joined date" and "User name", show 101.

My guess would be it has something to do with a hidden status when online……a warning in there……..big sister might be watching Shocked

Lucien Banitz (who ever he is) should sometime try to ride a fast bike really fast...............can only imagine that must be better than riding it slowly Wink
