Sounds like good advice to me. I love my vintage Hondamatic 450. Many men love machines, and I love to work on it as well as ride it. It sets me free just to ride it on a winding country road and hear the motor purr like a Cessna 210.
If I'm skittish I can do my riding early Sunday morning when there's little traffic. I'm in no hurry, I need to heal the ankle first and do what the Ortho MD tells me to do.
We can't let our guard down for one second on the road. If we do, someone may come along and take us out.
No more bicycles for me, I don't think, but Honda scooters and Honda Bikes 450cc and under, yes. I was really loving my 450A before the mishap.
