Re: to change or not to change that is the question

That is a possibility. However I only rode a half dozen times last year and there wasn't the same feeling of fun and enjoyment that I once had. I even had Lynda's bike out and it wasn't even all that great with a different bike.
I'm sure it has a lot to do with age and my vulnerability on 2 wheels when compared to the greater amount of protection a cage has to offer. I used to have fun challenging my skills on the bike in the twisties but the traffic and general braindead attitude of drivers and riders is getting a bit frightening to deal with.

Re: to change or not to change that is the question

Just for giggles I grabbed a friend for company and went to see that $2800 Wing. It has an actual 60,000 miles on it, not kms. That tells me it is originally a U.S, bike. No, I'm still not going to buy it but it is a fine looking bike. Must have spent a lot of it's life parked indoors rather than outside in various weather conditions.
The bike was parked outside in the rain a little above freezing and started relatively quickly which was impressive. Smooth idle and quiet running too. I'm pretty sure my friend Ron would have tried dealing if he had the cash and not marked for other things in life right now. An older Wing is on his list of bikes to own till he dies in the saddle.
