Philosophically I don't hate anything. Hate is wrong. It has no redeeming value that I am aware of.But tonight an epiphany struck. Emotionally, I managed it poorly. I let the realization that I can't do what I once did get under my skin. I hate that knowledge.As we age, we each cross barriers that separate us from what was to what is. Mostly, those waypoints roll slowly past un-noticed. Tonight a waypoint poked me in the eye with a sharp stick. I hate being poked in the eye.
I'm focusing on street bikes now- 70's and 80's for the most part.I had to give up dirt bike riding because it hurt too much and i couldn't get my degenerating hip/leg over the seat.That was a huge blow for me. Been racing and organizing races for the last 20 years.At 55, I have had surgery on my back for stenosis and I'm getting a hip replacement in three weeks because I can hardly walk.My father turns 80 this year. He has little arthritis, is in good shape and gets out on the snowmobiles with us. he has almost no aches/pains ???I get him to take my wife out because within a 1/2 hour it's too painful for me to ride. The arthritis has made it very difficult to be a stone mason too.So... oh well, consider the alternative and make some accommodations :beat_horse
dilligaf, I too bought a Miata (two of them) about ten years ago, hoping it would replace the mc urge...it never really did. I love the Miata, love the radio, CDs and cup of coffee...but it just isn't a motorcycle. But I am able to take my wife with me, something that would never happen on the bike.
Same here. I can't get on any of my motorcycle so I purchased this Miata thinking I could replace the motorcycle.It's not happing. I'm finding the Miata boreing - boreing -boreing. The 17th I'm due for surgery and hopefully, and if what my friends tell me is true after the surgery, I'll have many years of riding left. :BEER:Matt
Compared to a motorcycle, yes it would be boring. But compared to an accord or the Buicks you old guys should be driving ;) it's tons of fun. Just pretend you're 19 and drive it that way.
