Opas ride, you just need to kick your game up a bit.
One of the local guys is 78 and riding a couple year old Aprillia.
He's riding the new one because he crashed his last one. Yeah, crashed at 150 mph during a track day at age 74!
My brother asked him about the hospital bills (Huge!!!) and he said the insurance covered it because track days were considered educational. When asked if it was educational, what had he learned he replied "Don't get off at 150!"
So Opa there's hope yet.😄
This guy was legend around here. People hired him to film them riding the Gap.I think he has the record for the most consecutive trips through Deals Gap ........
Was a legend? Did something happen to him or is there someone better?
He was NEVER the fastest ........ But on a Wing or any other big touring bike I would have to say YES !

Thanks for the encouragement, but I would like to ride a few more years if possible..There are so many "crazies" on the roads as it is and I don't need to take any greater risks than I am doing currently, and trying to "scrape the pegs" is not very high on my priority list!! I am one of the fortunate ones that has never been down in over 50 years of riding and try to keep it that way by not taking unnecessary risks....Regards and ride safe
