    Re: Now What?

    Well, I bought your Ducati and decided the riding position was too hard on my wrists, so now I have a comfy Gixxer. damit I'm going down that slippery slope to BMW / Goldwing old man status. Must fight it... (yeah and I'm on the far side of my forties)

    The older I get the faster the bikes get, I'm worried that may be my undoing.
    In the end, it's not the years that get you.... it's the mileage.

    The best part? The older I get the more disposable income I can spare on building that bike collection. Still on my list at some point: A sport tourer, a dual sport, a 'tard, a track bike, and maybe even a cruiser/standard. .. oh and a garage or barn for em all at some point.

    I like KLR classic. The new KLR is weird and scary to me.

    I have a colleague that rides an ST4s and is nearing retirement. He's skilled enough to have fun with it, but wise enough to know that the bike is better than he is.

    I'm probably going to take a different fork in that road. I'll want to live vicariously through my kids and devote that share of income for 50-125cc rides for them. This year's projects include fitting the DR-z and failstrom for little passengers. By the time my nest empties, we'll all be riding hydrogen fuel cell thingies or hoverbikes.
