Opas is my elder by nearly 40 years, but still likes changing his mind weekly about bikes!!! I look forward to continuing this trend myself well into my 80s.
Oh yeah, I also do this with boats, cars, and snowmobiles. Have you considered a snowmobile? Lots of great riding in Michigan. Motorcycling has never been able to overtake snowmobiling as my favorite motorized pastime.
Opas, my dad is 75 and still rides his Pacific Coast daily. That's a nice light bike with lots of storage. Too bad the newest one you can get is a 1995, I believe.
How about 700 DCT? Seat too high?
What about the Scout you were looking at?
