Hope you and the bike heal 100%.

Thanks.
I need to start taking it slower, or as my wife asked me, "are you finished playing in the dirt now..
I guess I just don't heal as well as I used to.



Frankly, the main reason I sold my last motorcycle was because I was
starting to feel less comfortable with my reflexes and ability to avoid
potential accidents. Never had a major issue but in your 60's your
reaction time (for most of us anyway) just isn't the same as in your
30's. That, plus the fact that the bike (Harley Ultra Classic) was
close to 900lbs and was becoming a bit of a chore to push around. Maybe
if I had kept a Softail or something a bit lighter, I would still be riding.


My next ride: http://www.motorscooterguide.net/Hon...ilverwing.html,
for the reasons you cited.

I'm into Adventure bikes as you know, Honda is coming out with the ADV X model scooter and is something I'd consider if they bring it to the US market.
I'm at that age also where throwing my leg over a tall ADV bike ends with me kicking at it half the time these days.
