What does that guy Townsend mean, saying something about riding until he's 65?? Hasn't he heard the saying, "You don't quit riding because you're old, you get old because you quit riding!" Or at least he doesn't believe it.
I turned 69 years old (stop snickering, there in the back row) day before yesterday, and took my recently repaired '70 Triumph T100C out for a 150 mile spin. Aside from seeing a dead elk beside I-70 (the car that hit it had been towed away, just as well for everyone's morale) and a little surging at low speed (still have to diddle the carburetor to make it happy at 10,000 feet), it was a great ride.
I'll have to plan something more elaborate for my 70'th birthday, next year.. How about getting Gabe or one of the other MO staffers to arrange a test ride on one of the new machines they keep testing. Don't they need the "experienced" point of view?
