Built a new home recently with the biggest downsize being a two car garage....requiring me to use a Harbor Freight dolly to move the CB into position. Almost fell over once while pulling into a parking space and planting my right foot off balance.
I have NEVER been without a motorcycle since I was 17, and couldn't exist without regular "air therapy".
So, I ask myself....Is this my future?
I'm with you, man. At 67 years old myself, I'm experiencing some difficulty at times riding a large (heavy) bike like the CB 1100 (but I love it!). Also have an 800 plus pound Indian Chief which is just mammoth. Luckily, still able to (carefully) move them, and actually once I'm on the road, I have complete confidence. Having said that, a smaller bike (love the Royal Enfields) is in my future.
