83 year old biker selling Vincent after 721,703 miles

That is cool! If I was him, I think I'd get a smaller, lighter bike if that's really the only issue, and try to get my own "million miles" even if it wasn't on the same bike! I hope I can still walk at 83, still riding would be the bomb!

honestly... I almost hope I DON'T make it to 83.... as frustrating as it's been going through this rehab, knowing what I used to be able to do, and can't now drives me nuts... and funny thing is I'll probably be able to get the majority of it back... I can't imagine knowing that once i can't do something anymore, I will NEVER be able to do it again....

I got so fucking frustrated not being able to tie my shoes or open a ketchup packet! it's the little things like that that make life torture, having to depend on others to do that shit for you SUCKS ASS and I wouldn't wish it on anyone...

it was/is truly a humbling experience

Ebbs... come up here bud... Uma & I will take care of you. Wipe your forehead so you don't sweat, but that ass wiping you'll have to figure out on your own.

I'm good now

and I'm hoping at I die somewhere on the road... in some remote corner of the world... rather than have my loved ones pay to have me buried here...

Ain't that the truth! It's all cool ebbs, just get shoes with velcro and ketsup packs you can step on to open

And a Trike so you won't ride in circles
