Quit riding, sort of
Road Rocket:
Closing in on 76 and 3-1/2 years of treatments for non curable cancer has erroded my riding skills...I just don't feel confident or comfortable any longer..I might take the BSA A10 on a short ride...but I now lack the leg muscle to kickover a cold engine so I use a roller starter.I can start it when warm...usually....I'll sell the Honda 650NT Hawk..
But my wheelman driving seems ok ......So just bought my self a very straight non rusty 92 S10 with a swapped in Chevy 350 engine and 5 speed. 2950 pounds, V8 rumble and torque... ...Running and driving project hot rod like several I built in the past....
I will miss the bikes but to be honest I liked to work on them more than riding...So no big deal......
The best part of this? I am still alive despite the odds.....

Sorry to hear of the medical diagnosis. Enjoy the truck! Take care

I’m so sorry to hear about giving up the bikes and the cancer. Hearing a v8 rumble coming out of an S10 will be pretty cool.

Cancer sucks!!!
My Van Van 200 will be the last bike in my garage as I decline in the ability to ride heavier and faster motorcycles. Hopefully will be 20 or more years from now.
Enjoy your new toy. Nothing, and I mean nothing like the sound of a finely tuned V8 engine.

Thanks.....No need to be concerned about cancer...It has shown a inner strength I never knew about....And there are others here with similar health issues....
