Well I may not regret it, but that doesn't stop me from complaining about it.   Damn Jess-least wise we Still here!  Those aches and pains and gnarly scars ARE reminders of the transgressions of our misspent youth!  Now THAT Is what I try ta tell myself anywho!  RIDE SAFE. |

He looks like a thin Gabby Hayes...you youngsters look it up on Google.  That old buzzard and I have at least four things in common; we be old, we both ride, we're both homely, and both have a black hat like that. I don't have a beard for one good reason...it's in case I find someone interesting that doesn't want to wade through the brush to find a treat. |

Gabby lost all that weight from bouncing around on that thing. I'll bet the horse rode better. |

You switched from a Honda Valkyrie to a Harley Chopper ?  A pan head would be a great weekend scooter for a ride through this part of Kentucky. Wouldn’t want to ride too far or too fast ( I didn’t see a front brake) but I’m inclined to believe there would be a sweet spot where everything is just right. Heck, I’d ride a Cushman if I had one. |

Get up in the morning slowly, making sure legs still will hold me, then try to move upper body (lots of snap/pops), then try to make it to the head in time. Yeah, getting old is not for everyone. But still can throw a leg over Valk and walk her out of the garage. |

The real test I suppose is, can we still back the Valkyrie out of a down hill parking spot!

I won't park in any downhill space. Even in small spots, I'll pull a tight J turn and back down in that spot.
I used to ride with a guy in CA, who always had his wife with him. It was her job to push him out of all downhill parking. She'd get low like a football lineman, grab the forks down by the fender and push it up hill. It was pretty funny, but they were a good team.
