Chuck Keen
Down in Matagorda County Texas (SSW of Houston)
70 years old ... riding most of my life, started in dirt, but mostly big cruiser and touring bikes (Harley, Victory, Indian, Suzuki, Yamaha, Triumph) downsized bike-wise a few years back --- back protesting lifting 900+ lbs bikes off the kickstand ... tried a Ural sidecar rig for awhile, unique bike (would have enjoyed more if I still lived somewhere with hills and forest roads) just sold it ... supplemented that with a 2017 V7 III Stone <-- Just traded that in on a new 2023 V85tt Adventure (Blue, White, Red)
Worked in Nuclear Power most of my life, retired now ... 8-1/2 years in the US Navy, then 35+ years at civilian nuclear powered electric plants in Arkansas and Texas.
Not much in the me-too thing ... don't much care to see myself (so to speak) coming down the road. Also like a bike that makes me look back and appreciate it when I park ... as well as something simpler I am confident in wrenching on myself <<--- Moto Guzzi sort of ticks all those boxes.
