1000 miles ridden

Today, I went over 1000 miles.  So far, it has been a blast.  I am 69 and wish I had started riding 50 years ago.  Did 175 miles with a club yesterday and yeah, my butt was sore.  Looking at the COP seat that Gort is sharing on how to install.

Friday night I got caught in the rain everyone of you have done this, but it was my first time.  Just slowed down a bunch and took corners very slowly and had no problems.  Got a great tip. Put holes in a garbage bag for the head and arms.  Fold up the bag really small so it fits into your tool box or put it in a saddle bag if you have them.  This will help keep you dry.

Welcome to the wonderful world of motorcycles.  I am 58 and have been riding for 43 years and love every minute of it...even when caught in a thunderstorm with hail and icy rain driven by 40 mph winds

It is all part of the experience.   Cheesy

I thought I was the only old new rider. I started riding at 66 and will be 60 in October.  Smiley
