Are you ever too old to laugh, or fish, sex....OK, 2 outta 3 ain't bad
I rode years ago, then life took a twist. At 58 I needed a different mode of transportation as I moved to an island and took a job on the mainland, I had to commute via a ferry. Lines in the summer, holidays, etc, could be hours to load, motorcycles, right to the front, and its about 75% cheaper too (fare). I took the class, loved it, learned much. I got a Rebel, but quickly realized it was just a little too small (CC wise). I bought the S40, have put 9000 miles on it in a year and still love it. Weather here can change quickly. I have been caught in the snow, etc, but have not fallen because she is so forgiving.... Heavier bikes have gone over, getting on and off the ferry, the slow speed and poor conditions (ice and steel decks, HELLOOOOO) I just skate her
Practice braking, that is a game changer, be smart, don't rush intersections, stay out of blind spots, don't tailgate, etc, and never take your concentration away from the present....it can keep you in the game safely....but remember to relax, riding tight leads to over reaction and fatigue, diminishing the joy of riding....
