UH OH!
So, 57 year old cruiser rider was headed home Monday here in "river city".
18 year old kid pulled out in front of him.
Now the biker, who has been riding "forever" is in the hospital with a mangled leg.
Gray hair is not the factor.
We seem to be living in a culture where anyone over 30 is considered ancient and incompetent. It's not ok to criticise anyone for being black, brown, yellow or some religion, but it's ok to hammer anyone with gray hair?
That's intolerance.
Yep, the "oldies" have slower reaction times, but they mostly drive pretty safely, just not at the rate that some g...s yapping on cellphones in their Hondacars would like.
