What to do when you can't ride

[ARtraveler]

Plan trips, think about trips, read these forums for ideas about trips, reminisce about past trips, resist the urge to go on a trip (even if its only a lap of the main street in our town and back home).....time with the Grandkids, cant wait to take them on a trip hyea: and study. I'm an I.T. contractor and certifications and study consume a lot of my downtime.

Sounds like you like trips. :yes:

I find that at 72, things have slowed down for me.... My body just can't keep up with what my mind would like to accomplish.... Also I did some work on the Cobra after putting that back on the road in Aug..... annnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnd I just love driving my toys …. all work and no fun is not how I operate any more. …. this winter I plan to build the front half of the new frame I will need for the new front suspension that I'm going to use. ….. Thanks for asking …. I'll add pics to my " 917 " album and post them here …… Mike hyea:

I know exactly how you feel. my mind has lots of plans but it's going to take a younger body to do them. I would much rather ride or visit the grand kids, kids and my siblings then do projects. Where is that magic wand?:roflblack:

Magic Wand

The old body just seems to get more aches and pains than I know what to do.
Still have the time to get out there and enjoy the fun.....:thumbup:

Oh to be 72 again! Back then, I was taking delivery of a new 2010 Victory Cross Roads that I rode often and hard until spring of 2019 when the hip gave me grief and was mis-diagnosed as something permanent and sold it and got my F3L so I can stay in the wind. Turns out I needed a hip replacement, got it, and I have no regrets about switching to 3 wheels.
Getting back on subject; When the dust settles from the hip job, going to be adding a sway bar and maybe a bump skid while she's in the air.

I'm lucky. In South Carolina Carolina we have about 6 weeks of winter, but they are not in a row. It gets cold, then warm, and back to cold again, so our riding season really doesn't end.

Ever thought of becoming a detective

Its a beautiful spring morning here about 25 degrees C, gentle wind (Lots of smoke haze from the bush fires), just the kind of day I would much prefer spending in the RTL Saddle than my office chair.... though I recognize that I would not be alone in that thought.
