I, too, have been riding for a long time. The memories of feelings on 2-wheelers are more vivid than others in my fading recollections. Sometime I'll share some with you just as sort of an archive so I'll have some reference when my recall isn't so sharp.

I see more and more of my friends dropping out. I probably should. Every month on my ToDo list I have "Sell Kaw" but I just put an X in the box and move it to the next page. I'm not looking forward to a check mark there.

But I am exercising more discipline now. I limit my times of day, days of week, surfaces, weather, speeds, togs, and take my gut feelings more to mind. I'll chicken out on the safe side and that makes me feel comfortable to add a month at a time.

I've seen Heaven and I'm reluctant to leave.
