Outstanding Ripp, good to see lady lucky making a dream hunt possible.

Unfortunately Harleys statically are over represented in crashes. I know two fellas in there 50's who thought they take up cruising on hogs after early retirements. Both lasted less than 12 mths, Not sure whether its the dark colour or the lack of manouvarability of a Harley but when the shit happens you dont wont to be on a Hog !.

I seem to recall reading that Harleys are over represented due to the skewing in the riders age. Like the two you mentioned, they picked it up later as a hobby. Having been in a couple of scary situations on a bike, exerience and reaction times can mean everything in staying out of trouble. Unfortuately, as you get older the reaction times slow and not having prior riding experience can compound things. I gave it up after one close call where I was lucky to keep it on two wheels after someone cut me off.
