Yeah, I’ve noticed and even begun reluctantly admitting that age does change a few things and not always for the good. Senior citizen discounts and Social Security checks are fun but body and reaction time changes humbling. Quit nighttime pleasure rides a while ago.
I’ve consciously moved to lighter weight bikes and even gotten into sidecars for the express purpose of riding until I just can’t. Gonna hope shouldn’t doesn’t happen for a while longer.
Really lust after the large displacement highway mile eating monster bikes but admit I shouldn’t. At this stage of my life I can afford to ride anything I want but realize and admit a full dress cross country monster or a Hyabusa with saddlebags and a top box are logically beyond my diminishing skill set. Lots of good deals to be had on barely used large displacement 8 year old tour ready bikes, everybody needs an extra bike in the garage -right?
Then again I can fly and rent for a week or two. Why not?
