I heard the same when I did Bikesafe. Stats can be manipulated to prove anything, but it would make sense. There were three blokes of a certain age with us on the trip to Mugello last year. They were born again bikers and the standard of their riding was shocking! They had absolutely no idea what they were doing, where they were going or how to ride in a group.

Pfffttt, the elderly today. They don't know they're born!
