I hear you, man. Age catches us all.
Thing is she is not the wee slip of a hippie girl I married and I'm not the rompin stompin former college FB player she married. We do not look our ages (mid- sixties) but she did put in a request for a bagger for a retirement toy. '13 FLTRU we will be loading up for a mid week trip later today. She still loves the '09 FXDF Dyna "bitch pillow" though. Insisted we keep both and is anxiously awaiting a rebuild on a '79 FXFE.
Go to a IMC show and see the "talent" they have for decorations at the Ducati display. Perfect for the back of a Multistrada.
Things is I have enough high maintainance toys now. I'm afraid the cost of trading in on an new model is too much. Will be looking at Ducatis next IMC show though.

I took a Multistrada for a test ride last Thur. 8/20 @ Moon Motorsports in Monticello MN. Backed of at 105 MPH in %th gear and still wanted to pull & pull hard. Only saw 6th to say it was in it. In 3rd gear it was not happy going 60 MPH; wanted to go fast,
Fast? OH YEAH!
Touring bike? Not for me. In the BS session afterwards w/ the Ducati reps I said I'd love to own one but if that's a touring bike then an F/A 18 Hornet is a crop duster.
The rt side peg is maybe 4 inches from the brake pedal pad. Forget about where the passenger's knees are. Bitch pad that only a 5-6, 110 lb, hottie would fit on. Not clip ons but you are scrunched down on the tank. Great bike but a long way from a HD FL platform.
