There's too much here for me to neatly summarize.
How about EACH of you reading this pick one point that seems noteworthy TO YOU and quote it here, for discussion.
Here's MINE:
Compared to younger motorcyclists, the crashes of older motorcyclists are less likely to be precipitated by running off the roadway
So us old farts ARE more likely to throw in the additional lean necessary when we find ourselves entering a corner "too hot" and successfully "ride it out" instead of panic braking, standing the bike up and either running into the other lane, or OFF THE ROAD COMPLETELY.
I think that's the lesson I'd POUND into riders in a follow-on to the BRC...you've got to develop the MINDSET that you're gonna RIDE IT OUT
