10wheels, dont know how often you ride motorcycles, but if you haven't been on a modern bike (lets say , last 10 or 15 years) the chassis, suspension and brake improvements are quite remarkable. I only get on one every bunch of years, but the last time I had the opportunity, I was rather impressed (going back to memories of riding 70s and 80s bikes).

I rode for 28 Safe Years..Not one Crash or accident.
Best bike was a 83 GPZ 750.
Had it for three years and Sold it because I wanted to hit 90 MPH on my commute.

Ive ridden some powerful sport bikes and rrealized right away that I shouldnt own a bike anymore. My motorcycle days were a neat experience, but all in all find our two legged power travelling to be more rewarding.

When I returned from the CA trip my 28 y/o cousin was killed on a 1200 Suzuki. Broke his neck.

Sorry to hear that, never fun stories such as these... My best friends wife lost a brother.
Guess we should just end this with a "safe riding" to all on two wheels. I know you went through a challenging situation recently, so I'll touch some wood too.
Cheers
