I started riding at 10, with a minibike, and then at 19 I bought a real motorcycle (Honda 360) then a 400 then a break to buy my first house, and then around 30 I got a Kaw Concours and then moved in to BMWs, with RT, RS, GT, R, LT and GS, one of nearly everything except F bikes. My last one was pre-Covid, a Honda CB1100 (retro styled) bike, but my tendonitis flared up and limited my rides, so I got rid of it.

Now I've got the itch again. Now that I'm old, it's going to be the big K1600GTL, which has cruise and a great riding position and low seat so that I can actually reach the ground with my toesies. It's a heavy sucker.

I posted a bunch of questions on one of the K1600 forums, and I'm kind of accepting the fact that it's just normal for someone of my senior age to break up (or just limit) the ride into less-than-an-hour long segments. Plus these bikes are so comfortable, and with the cruise and upright position, the wrists shouldn't give me much trouble. I'm going to go for a test ride this week and probably buy one. The wife says that it's OK.

So I thought I'd start a thread here to see how many are like me, who are back into (or never left) riding as we enjoy our senior years. Experiences, thoughts, concerns, etc. please share!
