Look at it as a new step but not a step down! Good that you'll still be riding and THAT is what is important.

Traded "down" to a street bob......

Thanks for all the tips, tricks and advice!
Thanks for your service first off, and second hats off for your decision I would rather see you go street bob then those ridiculous "Landing Gear Thingys".

Only you can know when to make a change. I started riding in 1969. I cant believe that was 45 years ago. I hope I do the right thing when I realize I need to make a change.

Awwwwww, come guy. Ya just need to get out there and gut it out. Run three miles a day for a few weeks straight, all your knee problems will be gone. Not sure what will replace the knee problems but it will certainly take your mind off of them.
