Wow PGD. I would say your wife is not typical. In a good way.

BTW VTX1800 0-60 is around 3.5 - 3.8. Slow POS.

yeah it is

We can let the circumstances of our lives harden us so that we become increasingly resentful and afraid, or we can let them soften us, and make us kinder.
We always have the choice.

My old BSA Golden Flash modded to full Rocket Gold Star "cafe racer" status. RRT2 close ratio box - 60 mph in first gear if I remember correctly with a bit of clutch slip to get going. Back in the day not many could live with me on this until the Honda 4's arrived. I still thrashed them on the windy bits though they had better braking with those new-fangled disc brake thingies!!

Yeah - I was a rebel. Smile

chaquita73: that is a bummer!! so you run more since you sold your bike? LOL!! My dad taught me to ride when I was in junior high school; didn't bother him that I was a 'girl' ......he's a mechanic and taught his daughters and sons about engines, cars, bikes, etc. At 52 and a grandmother of 2, I am still passionate about riding as I am about running, actually, just be active. life is grand!!

kencarnet: love your avatar! was in PHX area and ran a 20k TRAIL run, awesome!! We haven't gone snowboarding for a few years as well, so I guess we need to sell them but I think we are hanging onto our snowmobiles ........... for now!

PRs In my 50's: 5k=24:30; 10 miler=1:23; HM=1:52; 25K Trail=2:40; M=4:10

Chris UK - very nice!

I've had most every make out there, including a string of BMW tourers/sport-tourers. I've now switched to what I'm calling "Ultralight Sport-touring", here's my 2012 Triumph Street Triple on a quick solo tour in SE Utah last summer (this is in Capitol Reef):

Here's the most recent of the big beemers, a K1200R, golly that thing was FAST!!

And the old, somewhat crotchety beemer I've kept, an '81 R65 that I restored a few years ago (the black one on the right), this is in our local foothills, guy next to me has his sweetheart '73 R75/5:

2013 Valley Runner of the Year Series: Feb 16 5K (4 points out of 10) ... Mar 2 10K (20/30)... Mar 16 4Mi (21/30) ... Apr 6 10K (DNS) ... Apr 21 2Mi (5/10) ... May 11 5Mi (where the fuck are the results?)... Jun 8 1Mi ... Jun 16 6Mi ... Sep 28 10K ... Oct 5 5K ...Oct 12 5Mi ... Oct 20 5K

I was riding Harleys back in the days that it was "uncool" to ride Harleys. Now everybody and their brother has one. I sold off my last bike about 20 years ago when I started having kids.

foreign bikes-no interest. (though I do have a soft spot for the 60-70's 2 cylinder brits)

Pics,nope. I wouldn't want to be seen the way I looked back then anyway!

Great pic lleneforward !
