Everybody get there at some point my friend, good luck dealing with this.

Have a close friend I suspect is heading that way, I'm 70 and have to open twist of caps on the bottles for him.

Sorry to hear that brother. My prayer is also with you. I’m 66 and, thank God still healthy, but I very recently inherited my Harley from one of my best buddies, also 66, due to his failing health (not ALS). Thank God for the good years He blessed you with.

🙏.. praying for you, Brother. All of us, for one reason or another will face the day when being out in the wind simply is no longer a choice. I’ve given that a lot of thought as my own years have piled up and I’ve known men whose time came. With that in mind I’ve resolved to peacefully accept the inevitable and spend those non-riding days enjoying the memories made out there. Hope you can do the same.

I often wonder when my right hand starts shaking uncontrollably if this is an early sign.. Sometimes I have to use the throttle lock to help to control throttle application.. It gets pretty bad at times..
Good luck my friend and will say a prayer for you..
