For a bit for background both my wife and I are close to retirement and were looking for another joint activity other than golf. I dislike playing golf with the wife since I seem to pick up some new and disturbing profanity every time we play. She is just a little intense when it comes to golf.

Anyway, I took up riding as a hobby last year at 62. Better late than never I guess. After the MSF course, the first bike was a 2007 S40. A year and about 5,500 miles later, it was replaced with a 2007 C50 so we could try some 2 up riding. We are tallish people, I am 6'2" and my wife is an even 6'. A total of 12' 2" just does not fit on an S40.

We tried it for the first time a week ago and I practiced turns and stops on a parking with her on board for about 2 hours. This past Saturday, we took to the two lane roads that wind through the horse farms here in the Lexington Kentucky area. Great fun, she loved it and I think we have found a new activity.

Good hunting

The wife and I did the sme thing. The C50 did well, but the C90 is a Cadillac of a ride wirh much more power and much roomier.
