Better Bone Density Through Motorcycling?

OFF THE WIRE

We can all agree that motorcycles help you feel younger, but can riding actually make your body more youthful?

A Medical College of Georgia study finds that "A daily dose of whole body vibration may help reduce the usual bone density loss that occurs with age," on top of improving muscle strength and weight loss... so perhaps it follows that the pulse of a v-twin and the judder of handgrips might help aging bones get stronger?

The extrapolation isn't entirely far fetched, and it sure offers a new reason to shop for bikes with non-counterbalanced, rigidly mounted motorcycles; heck, I'm sure there's a second-hand Buell out there that would fit the bill for a song!
