It is tough to ignore the body if it can't keep up with the mind. It also represents a sort of freedom lost and we all don't enjoy that feeling. Many times there are others to consider and the call has to be made. It can't be easy as a chapter closes.

Which brings up a thought of augmented reality.
For those who wish to ride with others but cannot, it would be unsurprising in the not too distant future where one can join the experience, but in the comfort of their garage/basement/family room. The actual riders will ride, but one will be outfitted with video and motion sensor capturing technology and relay the data back to the home buddy whose computer will translate the experience on a sort of "electric horse" (looking like a real motorcycle) and HD television monitor. It could be in real-time with live conversation and recorded for later experience and replay for anyone, including the original host rider.
Maybe this is done already, or the market isn't ready for it just yet.
