Well that article is from the UK.
I ain't ever been over there and probably never will go there.
Is that where you're from OP?
I notice that you don't have your location listed?

"Motorcyclists over the age of 60 are three times more likely to be hospitalised after a crash than younger bikers"
This is common sense. The younger body can take the abuse from a crash much better than an older body. Nothing to see here unless you can't think for yourself.
I will put money on it that the younger motorcyclist is three times more likely to crash than the older, more experienced motorcyclist.

honestbob--do you think we are 4 times less likely to catch a STD because them young whippers snappers are getting 4 times more "strange" than we are? there is usually a cause and effect that explains most situations.

Hmm, That could be the case. I guess I dated myself calling it V.D. instead of S.T.D. huh?
