In my younger days (i'm 68 now) me and a friend would go out riding through the woods for fun until he ran smack dab into a tree and broke his leg in several places. This was before cell phones so it was quite a trial trying to contact help.
After that I converted to street bikes. My last being a Harley. Then my wife started to have serious neck problems and couldn't put her helmet on. Sold it with 1,680 miles on it in 2010 and hung it up for two wheel riding.

Sorry to heir that you had to hang it up. I sure know that helmets are hard on necks with the wind and all.
I don't know what I'd do if I couldn't ride.
I have a Yamaha Super Tenere with 150,000 miles that I ride all the time, two trip to Alaska on it, one of them trips with my wife on the back. You can read that story here, http://www.yamahasupertenere.com/index.php?topic=12837.0 A DL650 that I ride to work,45,000 miles, one trip to Alaska on it. And a 1979 XS1100 that we rode on our Honeymoon to Yellowstone with 185,000 miles. And bikes that are sold and gone with lots of miles.

I'm jealous. Told my wife if she dies before me i'm buying another bike, ditching the cell phone and riding off to catch the sunset in a new place every day
