well I hope next season sees ya back on two wheels... and your wife finds something to enjoy as much as you do riding

To the original Q - I battled this same thing myself, I felt (still feel it a little) too old for a sportbike. I bought a V-Star, which for a cruiser is a nice bike. It was funny enough to ride, but my heart was never into it.

I've since sold the cruiser and am back on my true love, my R6.

Maybe down the road, I'll do the cruiser thing again.

For the record, I am 40.

Wait.. what? 40?? From all the pictures I've seen of you, I would have never guessed you were older than 30. Seriously.

If I swung that way, I'd be all over it. She's a looker.

But I don't swing that way, and I'm taken anyway.

Noone's ever too old to ride a sport bike. I hope to be as active and still riding as much as the old man I used to watch hit the MX track a couple of years ago when I was going. The man was in his 60's, rode a 2-stroke 250 and could launch that fucking bike like it was nothing! Double/triple jumps, clearing a big as table top

...that dude is awesome! If he can ride MX that hard at that age, then I have high hopes of me riding a sport bike well past that.

Yep pretty much went through the same.

I wouldn't mind having a cruiser AND a sportbike but that would mean 4 bikes since the wife also rides...maybe one day.

If I only have one bike...sportbike it is.
