I'll probably leave riding in stages. I'm 63 and doing quite well, thank you very much. But I've already discovered that I can't trust my body strength like I could only a couple of years ago, if I get myself into a pinch. So Stage One is that I'm already starting to accustom myself to a lower saddle on the VStrom, with gives me a safer stance as I start/stop/U-turn.
Other stages will probably be:
- Exchanging the campground for a motel bed,
- Giving up long distance riding,
- Swapping the adventure-style bike for something much lower, and
- Maybe even switching from a motorcycle to some futuristic scooter.
Then again, if my wife tells me to hang it up, she has that right. And it'll be goodbye VStrom, hello vintage Porsche.
