In 5 yrs Ill be 50... Maybe then Ill go look at RT's again
Oh God no, that's far too young to be thinking about RTs...

45 and riding an RT? You would have to wonder if he has a light blue Sedan DeVille in the garage, too

hey! its a spotless baby blue 1997 mercury grand marquis. Trunk is just big enough for my rascal scooter and oxygen tank.

Yep. I am usually busy shaking my fist at skateboarders after they get out of school until around 4:00.

So, Peelz, being a youngin' you'll come visit the rest of us when we're in the home? Right?

My nieces and nephews aren't making any promises and I want to make sure someone shows up to dump the bedpan on occasion. It's probably 30yrs, or so, out there, but there's no reason the delay planning.

Whatca say?

haha thanks for the laugh. good stuff. Thats what I tell my soccer kids too.

I have a friend who I knew from work, just retired last year. Very small man. maybe 5'6" Quiet guy always would talk motorcycles show me pics of his dads journeys on his r75...and harley...his various cruisers. I assumed he would end up with a touring harley.. Then, one day at work, I see a spanking new FZ09 roll into the parking lot. revving... that was his retirement gift to himself. That guy is me at 66 years. (a previous bike was the FZ1-I loved it)

Surely if 2 are touring it's better to have 2 RS'. You can carry far more luggage than on 1 RT and so much easier to manoeuvre. You know it makes sense!

Here's one in gc141x's home state of Illinois in mid-June, when the corn was a little smaller..... Iowa, Illinois, Nebraska..., anywhere scraped smooth by the last glacier and benefiting from all that Canadian topsoil left behind when the glacier receded.
Illinois and Iowa can make for really straight roads.
