A 71-year-old man died from excitement the first time he went out on his new motorcycle, says a coroner.
John Parsons, a retired engineer from Barry, Vale of Glamorgan, suffered a heart attack on his 125cc Honda and fell into the path of an oncoming car.
The bike was delivered the day before and he was "very excited" about riding on it, the Cardiff inquest was told.
Recording a narrative verdict, coroner Mary Hassell said Mr Parsons suffered a heart attack while riding his bike.
Miss Hassell said: "The excitement was too much for his heart. He went out doing something that he wanted to do for so many years.
"In some ways, what a way to go."
