I read your post with interest, and I'm sorry that you have some physical issues that are slowing you down, but at age 55, (you would be 60 now?) you certainly should have a lot of riding years left. That said, you can only do what you can do if your body starts to let you down.
I'll be 84 in a few months and I enjoy uncommonly good heath, strength and stamina. That also said, the CB is the heaviest bike I have ever owned so I always have to be careful moving it around.
Nothing thrills me more than to get out on the road on the 1100. Just yesterday I did a coastal loop of 66 miles on the CB and loved every second of it. This province has many winding coastal roads and the CB and I live for those roads; the curves; the scenery and the smell of the Atlantic Ocean.
Everyone ages differently and either enjoys good or poor physical health, but don't talk yourself into old age. Be positive.
Good luck and stay safe.
whoa ! 84 and still enjoying the ride that is great !
I figured that for me it would probably be over by the mid-70s, now I think *maybe* not...
