Getting older? Problem balancing your motorcycle? - GoldOxide_imp - 08-26-2022
Scooters? Sidecars? Tri-wheeled bikes?
Forget it.
Something to hopefully look forward to in our twilight years of riding ...

That would be cool just to "show-off" at stop lights...people would think that ol' geezer's still got it.
And I like the last few seconds where they show the bike getting hit by a car, and staying upright...hmmm, that's pretty optimistic.

What about the rider staying upright when he/she is of the bike ?

That could come where liquor is banned, ... again.

As an older (81) biker, I have been practicing slow-riding (under 10mph - around 5mph) and slow turns and figure-eights and I think it is actually helping my balance when on foot. Only my opinion, but I think things like this keep us from developing our abilities. I am sure it will help sell more bikes to people who have no business on them. Thanks for sharing this. It is a very interesting video.

Duh ... keep forgetting - which is stupid given the number of Apple screens in this house. But heck, I don't use Safari.
