I hope at 85 I am still able to throw a leg over, much less diagnose and fix a problem on the bike. Hang in there young fellow. Warms my heart to see dudes like you still on the road. Its a goal to live for.

I haven't even begun to think of quitting riding just yet. I sure get plenty of flack from lots of people that just don't understand it. You know the type...always trying to change your passion. Keep on keeping on...you'll get there.

I've ridden it a few miles for the last two days and so far haven't had to walk home so I think the problem is solved.
