#1 It always seems that weird incidents where objects and people are hit occur in FL. I will never, EVER, ride a motorcycle in that state.

#3 Hey, B-O-R, ever hear of Bike Week in Daytona Beach? Only 500k of bikers from all over the world and lots of them are over 80!! This year we had a young mother backing out of her driveway and hitting a chick biker riding in front of her man and killing her. The guy gets off his hog and beats the living beegeezus out of the lady. You should have seen the photos. She was remorse and full of guilt (member of the local chamber) and refused to press charges. So, come on down and ride. But if you aren't at least 40 years old, 300+ pounds, bald as a baby's ass and have a full handlebar mustache - you'll look out of place.

#4 No such thing as negative publicity. Give the salesman a spif.

I'm 45, and that's the only qualification I meet. :)

(178 lbs, still have a thick head of hair but a lot of it gray, and a beard, but close-cut)

#6 I sincerely doubt the salesman will be back to work in a week. That delayed whiplash will kick in once his friends talk him into talking to a lawyer.

#9 This happens all too often in Florida. And seems it's rarely the oldster's fault, well maybe sometimes. In any event, you have to real careful in parking lots, but it does keep the adrenal glands pumping. Cause when you turn 65, you're forced to move to Florida. Or so it seems.
