mostly I worry for the young guys I see doing all the stupid things i use to do 
Luck and eventually a degree of wisdom entered my brain and i gave up those ways.= high speed and wheelies ......
When i owned the only Goldwing I never liked " a 1500cc Aspencade = HUGE and Heavy even had a Reverse.... Anyway a smaller guy who had the same bike dropped it at a red light after slipping in oil with his foot and down he went. I got off my bike and tried to help him but he angrily declined any help and said " I got this " so i got back on my bike to watch as he used his back and legs to pick the big bike back up only for it to fall even harder on the other side. he then asked me for some help ! So yes i worry about the abilities of all riders having so many close and not so close calls with them , yet at the same time being ever mindful of my own ability's especially since 70 YO is not that far away .
