Older riders are being advised to buy bikes with “large dials and easy-to-read symbols” as part of a series of potentially insulting tips from America’s Motorcycle Safety Foundation.

Apart from going for easy-read bike dashes, older riders are being warned to stay away from complicated and congested roads and intersections to avoid “input overload”.


Full story here.

because i am working part time in an optician, i know that people from about the age of 40-45 will find it difficult to read. so i guess it is sort of sound advise Thumbs Up

but then again most people will probably have the common sense to deal with any problems like that anyway.

About right, eye sight going so put red dot on 30, 50 and 70. Only have to see them now Very Happy
As for reflexes slowing down, I can vouch for the fact that I am slower than I was 30+ years ago.
Guess its time to give up bikes, cars and crossing roads if it keeps deteriorating over the next 30 years.
