it's too bad he's selling it... I don't know I could put almost 3/4 a million miles and not be attached to it

Oh man same here... I mean I've only got 200k on mine and there's no way I could ever sell it. Get another one, yes, but this one would have to stay either way

I might be able to part with a dear bike for that! but then again... at 80... everything I'd want to do with the $ he's probably already done in his 3/4 million miles... and is too old/fragile to do if he hasn't |

That is cool! If I was him, I think I'd get a smaller, lighter bike if that's really the only issue, and try to get my own "million miles" even if it wasn't on the same bike! I hope I can still walk at 83, still riding would be the bomb!

I got so fucking frustrated not being able to tie my shoes or open a ketchup packet! it's the little things like that that make life torture, having to depend on others to do that shit for you SUCKS ASS and I wouldn't wish it on anyone... it was/is truly a humbling experience |

Ebbs... come up here bud... Uma & I will take care of you. Wipe your forehead so you don't sweat, but that ass wiping you'll have to figure out on your own.

I'm good now and I'm hoping at I die somewhere on the road... in some remote corner of the world... rather than have my loved ones pay to have me buried here... |
