"However I'm starting to think a motorcycle sounds rather interesting, of late! More fun than a four-wheeled vehicle, and much better gas mileage. Is this what happens after one passes the big five-oh? How hard is it to learn to ride one, at my age?" My brother and his family all have "toys-with-switches". Only my nephew rides a road bike. I love riding their TWS, real fun. My brother just got himself a sand rail, subie-turbo-powered so I'm looking forward to riding in that early spring at Glamis. I'm 64 now and still going strong mt. and road biking. I have a passion for it. It's very directly related to where I go in my Van for camping trips. I find myself doing more exploring in my van on remote dirt roads now than a few years ago, and that is probably directly related to a couple things: my age and doing more trips with people like Richard Jones who has done 'sploring in his van for decades (sorry 'bout busting you on your longevity, Richard). Headed out on a road tide in a little bit ... chilly here: 30 today .. at least not 15. Merry holidays, y'all.......bob |
