Wagonpeddler, we all age differently and to each his own when it comes to motorcycles, etc. I will be 83 on my next birthday and the CB1100 is cramping my legs and hips. I mean, literally, sometimes when I leave the driveway, my right hip gets a cramp in it. I recently sold a BMW R1150RT because I tore a rotator cuff in my right shoulder. I can still ride just fine, but will probably soon have a shoulder replacement, which might take me out of the saddle for a few weeks, but I'll be back. But many of my friends from high school and college who would be my age, have died. I flunked my last eye test at the DMV, but a new prescription for my glasses got me my license and I can still tell a truck from a pedestrian, so I am hoping to be able to ride for awhile longer.
The other day I fell in love with a Harley Fat Boy. I wasn't sure I could ride it, what with the shoulder and all, but who cares - it would look so good in my garage!
I want to be like the old motorcyclist who sat waiting for the light to change green and, when it did, he slowly fell to the ground dead.
