Missing motorcycling

I always enjoy your knowledgeable contributions to the various discussions here on the Forum, and hope that there is some kind of positive solution to your ailment in the very near future, regardless of whether or not it might allow getting back on a motorcycle.

My riding and and ownership of motorcycles has been off and on since I was 17, and I am 66 now. I am not ready for a rocking chair by any stretch of the imagination, but also know that I cant, and shouldnt try to ride forever. I am reminded of a line from a Clint Eastwood movie when he said " Ya know, a mans just gotta know his limitations". I shocked a friend of mine recently, when I told him I was eyeing the Honda Monkey 125. He asked me why, and I told him I knew that the time to give up motorcycle riding as I have known it for the past 49 years would come, and I was thinking something small like the Monkey to buzz around the neighborhood might fill the void for a little while longer when the time comes. Getting older is not for the faint of heart.
