He has scars older than her

Once I can ride again I want to get a motard and hooligan it up a bit.

But I'm young and dumb.

Yeah, I think it's the natural progression for the locals around here too. You reach a certain speed at the gap, where you either decide to move on from that rush by finding dirt or touring or you take it to the next level of stupid. I think I am at that point and I don't have any interest in uping the stupid. So it's on to slower stuff for me, I think.

I have no interest in cruisers.

I think I am on my way. I have not rode my Duc since I got the GS in November but the weather here has not been real Duc worthy until recently. This thread is making me feel a little old since I was just at the Sergent site looking for an update on the F800/F650 seats. They don’t have them yet. I have to do something before our trip in June but Cobin’s are fugly.

I was thinking that you know you are getting old when you look at the centerfold in Playboy and she is the same age as your kid.

No way, now how. I prefer not to lower anything Im riding. Im not saying I couldnt ride the Versys, I could without a problem, it just wouldnt be preferred. Not as comfortable as I'd like TBH.
