I share your passion for bikes. I started riding road bikes when I was 16. Used to ride my 500 Triumph to school and back on my last year. Since then ..... so many bikes. Sold my last one, a 1500 Honda Valkyrie, a couple of years ago when I felt I'd "lost my edge". You'll know what I mean. 62 now and still love them, and still work on friends bikes occasionally. Got more involved in my 4WD as an alternative/replacement. Enjoy it, but it's not the same. Miss that unique feel of freedom that only bikers understand.
