My husband is 66 yrs. old. He has been very active his whole life and still will put in a 12 to 14 hr day doing various activities, such as working on private airplanes, flying our plane, flying charter flights, riding his motorcycle, working on machinery here on the farm and in general helping out his fellow man with anything that needs to be done. But lately, the body is giving him warnings. He spent almost 2 months on the couch this winter with a knee and back strain that came from climbing around under a plane. He has almost dropped his Ultra a couple of times when his knee gave out. Well, today, he wasn't focused and was riding on a side street attached to a school parking lot. There was a chain up at the end of the road, he didn't see it until late and hit the brakes. The bike dumped him like a brick and of course he is now in a lot of pain in his left shoulder/collar bone area. Rescue squad saw him and he did not go to the hospital. My concerns are that he has beaten his body up so much over the years, that I am real fearful of him really getting hurt. He loves my trike, but so far no go on triking his. Is there any way I can help push him in that direction?? Any reverse psychology ideas? How many times will he need to get hurt before he considers it? He thinks what happened today was just one of those things! NOT! He was exhausted from a long charter flight that he flew yesterday and he shouldn't have attempted to ride. Stubborn man.
