Don't think you can't drive fast when you age:
Dan Carmichael, who died last year, was a SCCA National Champion at the age of 77...in Formula Atlantic. If you don't know what an FA is, think indy car (before the recent ugly iteration) with less HP.

Is that where you got all of your injuries and concussions? I stopped riding several years ago, and every time I read about some poor motorcyclist that got creamed by a texting motorist, I stop regretting my decision.

No, never had a single incident in almost 50 track days over many years. It was a red light running Jeep Rubicon that almost ended my time on this planet.

"Taylor said he had just left the car wash office after making an appointment for car detailing. When he attempted to pass under the roof canopy, he believes the accelerator got stuck. He said he hit the brakes three times, but the car didn't stop and struck the support pillars."
