.................Hope that this would bring back to biking, those who
left it in favour of their cages.

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

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

"In a convenient and easy environment, the human mind and body get used to
setting the hurdle low," he warned. "Our final conclusion is that riding
motorcycles can lead to smart aging."

In one, which required the men to remember a set of numbers in reverse
order, riders' scores jumped by more than 50% in two months, while the
non-riders' marks deteriorated slightly. The riders also said they made
fewer mistakes.
