You might say I'm reconsidering a decision I made in 1969 to buy a Bonneville instead of the brand-new CB750 with FOUR cylinders.
I know I said anyone 75+ was a badass... But I think we can round up in your case. Man I hope I'm still riding at 71.

Most of my riding friends are younger than I, but one is over 75! He's still pretty sharp, too, and a good rider. His wife asked him to stop riding across the US which he did once and sometimes more a year up until a year or so ago. He sold his 1300ST for something lighter, a V-Strom DL650. Even though he works out at the gym several days a week, he felt the need for something not quite so heavy. Can't blame him!
