Getting older and buying a new CB1100

[GoldOxide_imp]

Well, I'll chime in. I'll be 73 this summer. Started riding in 1969, got married in 1977, mostly stopped riding when the kids came along. Got into sailing and had several boats, then my sister remarried, and her new husband rode. We were talking, and he asked me if I'd like to take a ride on one of his bikes. He had a really sweet Yamaha 400 thumper, and I said Yeah, I would. Before long, a neighbor was selling his H-D Sportster. The kids were pretty much grown, and on a whim I bought it, and it took off from there. I've had the CB for, oh, four years now, and recently bought a Suzi V-Strom 1000. It had some miles and I got it cheap, had a mech go thru it and do some long-deferred maintenance. It runs great. You don't stop riding 'cause you get old....you know the rest!

I'm 37....did i get that backwards?

I took up motorcycling as a permanent solution to the problem of the american roadway and left four-wheeled vehicles behind forever. One day when that age is flipped around backwards like yours I will still be riding. If my hips fail me I will buy warp-coil-powered self-balancing HoverBike and ride that instead. When I'm dead they'll have to bury me with my CB, but they better change the oil first because i'm still gonna be putting miles on it.

I"ll be danged if i ever take out one of them Can-am thingies though.
