No. A trike is just not me. I do have a couple of Jeeps and a Corvette so my toy box is still full.

Enjoy your golden years.
I have battled cancer 4 freakin' times. I have been given death days as far in the future as three years (back in 2004), to as little as 5 days. And I'm still here. If not being able to ride became a reality for me, I would simply deal with it. You don't have to love every hand your dealt, you just have to make to best of it. And for me..... Jeeps and Corvette's would offer some exceptional outlets. Make the most of what you have.... I'm just praying I make it as long as you have. Cause more than one fortune telling "doctor", told me I wouldn't even make it THIS FAR!

Thanks. I know my ears will still perk up every time I hear that sound for sure.

Good luck to you too my friend. I beat cancer once myself and it look's like you're putting up a fight too. Thanks.

I turned 70 yesterday. I feel no worse than when I was 40. I can see hanging it up in about 15 or 20 years, maybe.

GMAN, all the best. Your ending a chapter of riding in your life, and mine is just starting. At 25 years old, and one full year of riding under my belt, I cant wait till I've raked up the same amount of miles as you. You probably have some amazing stories from the road to tell your grand kids about.

Gman - I remember when my pop stopped riding, it was due to a stroke.. He was ready to stop way before. He said he missed being around the bikes and the folks more then he missed riding. So please stay in touch with you buddies and the forum..

Good Luck Gman.
I just turned 65 and not ready to give it up.
As others have said, there are CRAZY drivers out there and it's getting scary.
