What do ye have to say after ten years

I’m reading this post with my progressive lenses and my compression leggings on. The plan for today is to take my wife to lunch on a 50 mile ride. The ride is fixed. Leaving home at 11:30 am. Everything else is open to choice. Directions aren’t needed. This is for two people 63 yrs old. Just a nice lunch, and be home by dark. Could be as short as 100 miles, or as far as 400 miles. Age has it’s advantages.

I'm 68 1/2. I did not have my Rocket when this thread started. I've had it just over 5 years. I about sold it a year and a half ago, but could not go through with it. I've put too much time and add ons into it, not so much any more, though, just maintenance. I'm going to keep it as long as I can hold it up. It is great to see so many of you still holding on!! Gives me a boost!!!!

Have you noticed your getting more straight backed yet more laid back the longer you ride.....we'll call it Starmanut's Paradox

Hummm 73 next month. Arthritis has me so crippled up, I'm afraid to get on a bike. And trying to keep 6 of them running, has become an almost impossible task. 2 Rockets have been sitting out in the rain, with covers, for the past 3 days, as I try to re arrange my barn, to try to make more room to work. Old age sucks big time! At least I had a hell of a time in my younger years! Ha!

I'm 75 and have the Rocket up for sale. Still riding it but a dodgy hip says it's time for something smaller. This past weekend, with a few friends I rode up to Lavigne Ontario on my Norton Commando to a Norton rally. 200 miles each way and a smooth. Probably time to thin the herd down. Also selling my Atlas and another Commando. I could use the room.
