when I ride alone I ride slower and more carefully . when I ride a long way from home I double down on the first statement .
I'm about touring (that's looking and awe look at that , a lot, stuff ) not risking my neck . last time I rode in a helicopter , the US Army supplied the vacation . don't care to ride a helicopter again.
as I get older I just want to enjoy the ride , but just incase , a rescue policy , is not a bad idea . hopefully nothing happens . probably nothing happens . but one never knows.
here is an old saw; just because you can doesn't mean you should...... or as Dirty Harry say's , " a man has to know his limitations " .
