I'm 65 . . . I just bought a Spyder last month because I missed riding . . . and haven't been able to afford to do so since I was a young man, for many reasons . . . spending money on a "toy" for me when I had kids to support was not going to happen. My "mid-life crisis" never happened . . . I have always been comfortable in my skin. As for riding in the rain . . . its a choice. I've done it when I was caught in it, but have lost too many friends, through the years on bikes that cars "didn't see" to add reduce visibility to the mix, intentionally. GPS? Damn glad I have it . . . it rides in the trunk while I ride, aimlessly . . . and comes out if I come to the conclusion that have no effing idea where I am, when I decide to head home . . . getting "temporarily confused" is easy while turning on whims in rural West Virginia for hours - especially if you are 65. As for driving from bar to bar . . . I stopped drinking and driving in my late 20's, when I finally grew up. Someone who has been riding for 30 years doesn't own anymore of the road than I do . . . and if you don't like the fact that I ride . . . that's just too effing bad for you, because I don't give a crap about it. If my post is found to be offensive to anyone, feel free to throw me out of the forum . . . but you won't stop me from riding my Spyder on nice days . . . so get over your hang-ups as to who you think should and shouldn't ride.
