I agree. I made it to 72 but with the change of location it was too risky. The day I took it to the consignment motorcycle store, I got run off the road by a guy coming off the freeway and jumped into my lane because the guy in front of him was going the speed limit. I didn't dump it but was on the grass.
It was tough to let it go because of all the great times in wine country riding the backroads. There is no feeling like motorcycle riding, and no substitute. Visually, they're also a work of art, much like watches.
I guess you just have to appreciate the great times you had and move on, but I still "pine for the fjords" at times.
