Thats a difficult question to answer as to giving things a limit when riding the bike,for sure there must be a limit at all times, much depends on conditions on the day and how you feel. Other factors are whether you are riding alone ,leading a group, tail end charlie, got the missus on the back seat.Im sure age does make a differance,but with age comes experiance but if your experiance is limited in the first place then it counts for nothing. There is no better factor in bike riding that getting out and riding the thing. I have found it invaluable to be out riding with other riders often faster than you who you can learn from, but understand the risks involved. This should be a slow process for every bend that you enter and exit at the correct speed is a lesson in survival get it wrong only once and ,, well Ill not go down that road. Do I as an older rider whey up the dangers more than a young rider , possibly I do,may be Ive seen more accidents than some of the younger ones and that will effect my judgement , I can tell you when you do make a mistake and go airbourne as I have done, it tells you you do not want to do it again , cause it bloody hurts and thats the best lesson of them all. I feel save and confident when riding fastish other wise i would'nt do it , but there is riding fast and racing thats when I draw the line (on the road) 4D |
