I have been riding 33 years. Makes me feel old to even say that. Riding is in my blood. It seems like once you catch the riding fever you never lose it. Oddly enough I never wanted or encouraged my kids to ride. My grandson is another story. He is 5 and has several years under his belt now and absolutly loves motorcycles. My riding has shifted to sport touring over the last few years. Did I mention fast sport touring. I still flog the sportbike 5 or 6 thousand miles a year.
