So they go out and buy a motorcycle despite they haven't ridden a bicycle in 20+ years. And since they have the money to get what they want they aren't forced into a smaller motorcycle like many young adults. They get the big bad 1800 or the hayabusa that they always wanted.

I also guess that a body of a teenager or early 20 year old can take a fall much better than the body of someone in their mid-30s.

I remember hearing something similar about people in the 40's to 50's demographic. They were now succesful and can afford a bike and were either new to the sport or hadnt ridden in many years.
