Motorcycles keep us young
There was a scientific study done a year or so ago by Yamaha and Tohuku University, which showed that riding motorcycles helps keep drivers young by invigorating their brains. "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.

| "The group that rode motorbikes posted higher marks in cognitive function tests," Kawashima said. In one test, which required the men to remember a set of numbers in reverse order, the riders' scores jumped by more than 50 percent in two months, while the non-riders' marks deteriorated slightly, he said. The riders also said they made fewer mistakes at work and felt happier. |
