My new doctor gave me this tip…”motion is lotion”…

I’ll be riding an electric Vespa by then. Or perhaps they’ll fly!

Not sure about my current Ural….but a motorcycle should be available to me!

Regarding the mental aspects of growing old, you’re absolutely correct. There are decisions made for a variety of reasons that push us there. I won’t climb to the top of my 32 foot extension ladder anymore to clean the gutters on the back of the house because “I’m too old.” Physically I could still do it but I don’t want to accept the risk anymore. But generally speaking, there are a lot of things we can keep doing that maybe we just get to “tired” to do.

Yoga must be in my future. There have been too many references lately. And as the old adage goes — You’re as young as your spine is flexible.

Thanks for one more reminder Steve!

Old age and heavy motorcycles aren’t the best mix. Lugging is right. I remember trying to move the BMW K1600 GTL around on a gravel parking lot and thinking I needed a tugboat. There was no moving it manually in that place. Everything had to be done under power. It was a lovely machine at speed on a fine paved road. But any kind of low speed maneuvering was a miserable challenge. I was glad to mount the Vespa again after a few days with that…

Let’s plan on a ride — from Denver to Moab and back — in 2037. Will your URAL still be going?

I agree. And I can’t help thinking how lucky I am to be able to ponder things like riding a motorcycle when I’m old. With all the rubbish going on, so many will never have that opportunity.

My pleasure Andy.
