I'm just pulling your chain brother. If you ask my kids I may already be at old fart-dom. I just think we're in the golden age of bikes right now. Check out a Kawi Z750. Fairly upright ergos, right size, etc. I think there's a lot of bikes that fit that criteria. Suzuki SV, Duc Monster, maybe an old school Bonneville - seems to be right in that middle area, pretty straight ahead ergos, though I'm not sure of the comfort factor long term. Don't give in to father time! You gotta ***** slap him till your hands are sore.
