Hi, you did great to bike that far. My husband was a biker, he had a Kawasaki Vulcon 800. When his legs got bad he put a sidecar on it. It was a great outfit. Sadly when he was taken so ill contracting Sepsis after a knee operation he wasnt able to ride it anymore, he really misses it. Hope you have many more years to enjoy your bike.

I breathed a sigh of relief when I got my license back with the bike group. I think I would have given in if I couldn’t ride or drive. I find the concentration needed for biking stops my tremor.

I’m a biker and would love to taste the ride of new bikes. So, I have decided to buy a new bike under $2000. In start, it was very difficult to find my choice. But finally, I find a site that is very helpful and it provided me a way where and how can I buy my choice.

I had to give up on the bike… I found myself when turning either under or oversteering so I would end up at the curb or in the central reservation and I just thought one day it’s going to cause an accident.
