Contemplating the end
Facing a pile of repair work on the V*rago, starting with fork seals. Choices are spend a bunch doing the repairs, spend more on a different bike, or give it up all together. I don't like any of the choices. Given increasing physical challenges, I don't have many more seasons of riding, but I hate to give it up any sooner than I have to. On the other hand, it's a lot of money going to something we can only use a handful of months out of the year.
Yeah, I don't like any of the choices.

Too easy to identify with.
Legs. Got to have them. Mine. Not so good.

There is a time in our lives to ride
...and a time in our lives to remember our rides. I ride every day...in my mind.

H0NDA Grom?
125cc, streetable, on 45MPH and under streets (this may vary from state to state?) Can also go some off-road (?) use around the ranch. Maybe it would work for me overcoming my dirt / gravel road phobias?

When I have a 1970 H0NDA 70 sitting in the garage? Perish the thought.

Anyone local that even knows how a carburetor works? Like a rotary phone on how it works in today's world, but most people don't know that "Carburetor" is a French word that translates to, Don't touch this!

Sad read, but understandable. I traded the wore out E glide for a Yamahondakawazuki FJ-09 a few months ago. Almost half the weight and 40 or more HP that makes it a unicycle at will I’ll ride as long as I can feel safe doing so

I do my best to get to the gym three days a week. While I'm trying to keep everything 'operable', the legs are a priority as I need them not only to get around but to hold up the scoot when I come to a stop. I have a new reason to maintain that goal as I'll have the opportunity to ride out to Sturgis again in 2021.

Getting old wouldn't be so bad if it wasn't for the breakdowns.

They're Colorado crackers and Polly feeds them to Frances to make her feel better about not understanding carburetors.
