Combine the above with the madness that I see everyday on the freeways and the Bay Bridge, with weaving inattentive drivers during commute hours, and road racing intoxicated idiots later at night (since I sometimes work late). Then, around the urban streets, I see people pulling in front of me from all sides, even though I wear very bright yellow and black gear. I have had a few scary moments, but have never had what I would consider to be a "close call", yet. .........
Oldapeman,
I am your same age, with the same riding history. I left the insane traffic of the West Coast big cities, SF and SEA, and returned to motorcycle heaven in twistie West Virginia. I always have tried to choose low risk times to ride, and feel confident that I will continue to ride for many years.
As a Physical Therapist, I work with older folks improving their balance and agility every day. There are a lot of new exercises, including WII FIT, that will assist in improving those skills.
Have fun, and follow that quiet inner voice.
