"TOKYO (AFP) – Riding motorcycles helps keep drivers young by invigorating their brains, the scientist behind popular "Brain Training" computer software said Wednesday, citing a new scientific study.

"The driver's brain gets activated by riding motorbikes" in part because it requires heightened alertness, Ryuta Kawashima said after his research team and Yamaha Motor conducted a string of experiments involving middle-aged men."

Now if they could only solve that whole erectile disfunction issue . . .

Who thinks these things? Yes and you also have heightened awareness when a bee stings your crotch too.

Kinda seems like that study could be applied to anything really. Thats just like saying that working out makes you fit and healthy because your using muscles that would otherwise be inactive.

Oh well, good to know that there are health benefits associated with riding bikes i guess

I really don't want to "heighten" my awareness that much.

It has happened to me, and all i can say is

Ride, ride, ride......
Ok who is the smartest?

I'm still waiting for it to kick in . . .

Come to New Jersey and try commuting in rush hour traffic on your motorcycle. That will definitely focus your brain....

Or shorten my riding career!
