I would always give the Harley guys a hard time about all the "black leather, potato pipes, and vision blinding chrome." Well add a few years, a wrist surgery, and knees that just can not stay in a tuck for more than 2 hours if I still want to walk when I get off the bike, and I had to give up sport bikes. I actually managed to go without a bike altogether for about 8 years, and then I made the mistake of just "dropping by" a Harley dealer.
I still DO race/track bikes. A BMW S1000RR. I also have a couple other BMWs (LT and GSA) along with a Ducati. Never a Harley. Never a rice burner. Ever. Ever. (Okay, I DID used to race a Suzuki)
Anyway, I say get back on the track. You don't stop dragging a knee because you get old, you get old because you stop dragging a knee!
Thanks for all the comments!
