I've mentioned in other threads that I'm relatively new to riding compared to most of you. Been at it only three years and I will turn 53 yrs old tomorrow.
For me, riding takes me back to my childhood in a strange way. As a carefree kid I used to wake up every morning and the first thing I would do is go downstairs to the garage and make sure my bicycle was ok. I'd wipe it down and deflate the tires and put in fresh air every morning, thinking that it always ran better with fresh air in the tires (OCD anyone?
)...there was something special about seeing that shiny bike and knowing I'd be riding it all day after my chores were completed.
Fast forward 45 years to present day. Seeing that beautiful CB1100 every morning in the warm garage makes me feel like a kid again. Riding takes me away from the every day stresses that we all experience.
So many people in this world have it rough for a variety of reasons. I feel so blessed that I'm able to afford this lifestyle and enjoy this beautiful motorcycle.
