[QUOTE="beacher, post: 428778, member: 14733"] Hey Feejer, I'm going to be 64 in a couple of months, and I just bought a new FJR about 2 weeks ago. I'm pretty sure that it will be my last bike, as I hope it will last me as long as my last bike. .. An '81 XJ750 Yamaha I bought new. I tried, for about 3 months to tell myself that I was old enough that I just ought to hang it up, but the thought of not riding anymore just left a big "pit" in my heart. Maybe I just stopped growing, intellectually, when I was 18, and just aren't smart enough to know when enough is enough. I just kind of figured out, a few years ago, when my house got hit by a landslide, and a big madronna tree came blasting through my back wall, missing me by about 18", that your safety isn't even guaranteed in your own home, so. . . What the heck; might as well indulge in my taste for bikes! I do, however, try to strap on my paranoia along with my helmet, every time I climb on, and I keep my eyes open for "the way out"! Hope you never regret your decision, but if you figure out that it was the wrong move, it's never too late to change your mind. [/QUOTE]
