I,m livin here in south Jersey with the only woman willin to put up with my "stuff" for the past 26 years. She doesn't much like bikes but knows how much I do. So we have compromised and it all works out. Those compromises are what make it a good marriage. I've been ridin since the 70's. I have had a few diiferent bikes but I tend to hold on to things for a long time. These days I ride strictly for pleasure not for pain. Those days of ridin in the cold or when it's pourin rain are way over! It's mainly ridin to have some alone time and no thinkin. Just enjoyin!!!
