    Hello Bob,

    But.... Bob IS a senile old man - he cannot even ride a motorcycle anymore.
    Life is over when it comes to that.

    And how close are you to that age? I would not ride a
    motorcyle if the world would end if I did not. I think
    they are the most unsafe method of travel ever.

    Motor Scooters are more dangerous IMO. They are less stable. A
    motor cycle is as safe as a bicycle at the same speed, only the
    cycle is capable of much more speed.

    That would depend. Is the rider wearing a helmet? Or not? And even
    if the rider is riding a helmet, at a high rate of speed it would make
    no difference. Whether on bicycle, scooter, or motorcycle.

    Ok, be careful of poping wheelies.

    Evel Knievel always wore a helmet. Well, most of the time.
    Not that it mattered, as he still broke damn near every bone
    in his body. Some of them more than once.

    Riding a motorscooter or motor cycle with a helmet at a low rate
    of speed, the cycle is safer, IMO.
