A couple buddies and I stopped at Two Wheels Only in Suches to stretch and get a cup of coffee. In rolls a Slingshot. An older guy gets out and eases his way across the parking lot with a cane. We looked at each other and said ".... at least he's still puttin' it in the wind".

The first time I took my shirt off in front of my last girlfriend she had to get to get drunk first because I use clothing to hide the numerous scars and deformities caused by the severe scarring.
I know where you are coming from with aches and pains. Painful muscles and joints and arthritis nearly put an end to my riding before.
The prospect of hanging it up was having a devastating psychological and emotional effect on me. I see you are going through the same thing. Don't do it. I had found that I was losing the will to get out of bed.
I found diet played a huge role in the pain. Foods containing too much chemicals and preservatives as well as nitrates, nitrites, and excessive sodium and fat increased my pain and misery levels, so obviously I eliminated those things by eliminating processed food.
To explain how and what I eat now is very lengthy but am willing to email what I have documented with regards to diet.
The other thing I did is when I have a flare up of arthritis and other pain, I take Meloxicam and Cyclobenzaprine. They are miracle drugs and I use them with each other.
I also go to Massage Envy once per month for a two hour massage that targets specific areas that are giving me trouble at the time. My therapist is very good and I ask for the same girl every time. She keeps a chart on my progress.
What I am saying is if you give it up prematurely you will be giving up on life prematurely. There are ways to fix this.
Alternatively, the sale of the bike could purchase a lot of hookers and blow.

She's gone. Poor guy, handed me a wad of hundred dollar bills, I said "4 right"" He said "43, I thought that's what it said". He had asked me if there was any wiggle room, I said no, he said that's fine, it's worth it. He saw the ad on motorcycle trader for 4300, then looked on cl and I had 4500, but for a few days I had a sale for 4000 just to try and sell it. I thought that was the ad he replied to so I was expecting 4000. Sorry bud, it's in my hands now. A stoner, real "biker dude", had the same bike, put over 100k on it in 3 years and got rear ended. I know it's in good hands. But.....
