    Selling my bike in the near future

    Hi all, been awhile since I've been here. Life has gotten in the way some as of late. Looks like I'm going to sell my 1980 GS750E here in the near future. Don't want too though need to do something with it. I'm not all that comfortable riding it since my knee replacement surgery at the first of the year and now it looks like I need some left shoulder work (yay me). See where I'm going with this...with 2 hip and a knee replacement and now a shoulder coming up, I don't feel I need to risk going down on the bike at some point. Besides 70 is just a year away. I've had my fun with her over the last 40 years and she still gets the job done. So watch the Bikes for sale section once I get all my info together and I'll post it. We still have the Spyder RT and it works well for us.

        My neighbor is mid 70's and is one of the few people I feel safe riding with, he ski's too so he's in pretty good shape. If I didn't feel comfortable riding I would sell too, sometimes it's best not to tempt more problems.

          Being in shape, there's the caveat! There's no doubt that the bumps, dings and breaks all add up over time but key to being active later in life is to become active before "later" comes.

          Funny, I went to a festival a couple of weeks back and was quite visibly the most fit person there. Pretty sad statement coming from a 61 yr old that's survived a life threatening bike wreck, two separate spinal fractures and a bout with cancer not to mention all the other broken bones over the years.
