I hope my body can keep up for a long long time. I'm 42 and would love to ride into my 80s. When things get bad, I'll go the side car or trike route.
For now, everything feels good and my wife is so very understanding. Last year we hit the beautiful back roads of Ohio and west Virginia. 3000 miles in 5 days.
Here's the kicker. I did it on my supermoto. A 2005 DRz400SM. At times the seat felt like a barbed wire thong, but it was one of my most memorable rides.
The VTR1000 and the V65 that were along for the trip couldn't believe that I wasn't hurtin'...
