Probably need to update the bargraph as it's been running for 9 years, so I expect a few have moved into another bracket if they're still alive :whistling:
Bought my first XR after my 50th birthday. I had back surgery 3 weeks before my birthday and said **** it and just bought it. No way I could ride an XR before the surgery.My mother in law calls it the mid life crisis bike. I’d rather have the XR than the usual old guy convertible for sure. This bike is a riot. I really enjoy this site
I call my XR the time machine, which has two meanings: (1) I can leave late and arrive early and (2) I feel like I am thirty years younger when I ride it. Other bikes may come and go, but I think I will keep this one - hell, no one is going to want it after I get done with it, so may as well. 54.
69 in a month. If I knew I was going to last this long, I’d have taken better care of myself! Loving the XR, can’t get the grin off my face, can hardly wait for spring.
Just thought I'd drop in to tell all you young whippersnappers that while the caption "80+ I'll be dead soon" may be true, the "soon" part is a bit open ended. I'm just turning 82, and still hope to be riding for a while yet. I still miss my XR, but I keep looking for lightness. (At 366 lbs claimed dry weight, my street triple is a lot easier to push around the yard.)
I'll wish all the usual suspects a happy and prosperous 2021. Yeah, yeah, I remember....without a photo it didn't happen.........
