for 56 years. Started at 14 had just about every kind of bike including Indian. My last three were Goldwings. One of the toughest things I ever did was decide I couldn't man handle a big bike anymore. After knee surgery some fun was gone, then shoulder surgery made the decision for me. I immediately bought a smaller bike but had hip surgery last year and haven't rode since. As a matter of fact I started today to get it cleaned up to sell. Lots of miles lots of places lots of memories.
