VLOG 9: ¿Ya eres viejo para ir en moto? En moto siempre se tienen 20 años. O sea, que tu mismo.

Okay, it's no longer time to pop wheelies or drag your knees around every corner on a motorcycle, but you can still enjoy it by setting wider safety margins, because now it's time to savor every inch of your lifelong hobby. A few years ago, a Japanese institution conducted an experiment that tested the level of reflexes maintained by a group of motorists and another group of motorcyclists, all of them elderly and who had stopped riding years ago. The motorcyclists won by a landslide because they were quicker to handle any incident that happened in front of them. You and I know that we grow an extra eye on the back of our heads, and it stays fixed for life. It's time to choose less-trafficked roads and alternative secondary routes, to smell the fragrance of the forests and the smell of the sea. And look, yes, our motorcycle has to adapt to us, not us to it. Weight and agility are now more important than ever. And although I sincerely believe that many "grandparents" can continue riding motorcycles due to their physical condition, there's no need to worry if you're not sure why you can't see yourself riding. But if you still have the desire and strength...physical and mental, remember that... On a motorcycle, you're always 20 years old! Even if your ID says...88.
