No business riding no motorcycle

I hate to start out posting after being dormant for awhile with a rant but, hey, it’s been awhile since I ranted about something so it’s long overdue.

Maybe I will start out with a word of advice and then elaborate.

If you are 60 years old or greater in age (and, since my last post I am getting closer and closer to that age…) and have never ridden a motorcycle……

DON’T START NOW!

If you are 60 years old or greater in age and have had open heart surgery within the last year and are on all kinds of medication plus never having ridden………

DON’T F-ING START NOW!

If you are all of the above and are stupid enough to take a class in the hottest month of summer then………

SAVE ME THE TROUBLE OF DOING CPR ON YOUR STROKED OUT @SS AND JUST STAY HOME AND STROKE OUT ON YOUR OWN TIME!

Now the elaboration: The last (3) classes I have taught have had all of the above. Why, why, why does one want to do this I don’t know! But, it makes for a very miserable class for everyone! Not to mention that it has been 90+ degrees down here in Georgia and being on asphalt all day makes for temp’s over 100 degrees.
And, I am so tired of all these GEEZERS wanting to suddenly (try to) learn how to ride a motorcycle and in the hottest part of the summer, too! Where are the grandchildren to talk them out of it? Or the wives or husbands? It’s just not worth it, people!!

(Help save Grandma from loosing her mind!!)

Now, if you have ridden before in your life – for many years, even, and want to take the class to get your license then that’s another matter. You have developed the skills, muscle memory and aptitude to ride.

But, if not then take up checkers or collecting stamps or something and save your life and everyone else's you put at risk by getting on a motorcycle.
