Another old guy saddles up.

I rode motorbikes for years, but only street. I quit because of the expense after retirement and distracted drivers trying to kill me. Last September I saw an ad for a Mongoose Hitch and was intrigued by the fat tires. Initially a trip around the neighborhood was enough, a couple miles. The weight began to come off (I was technically obese for my height), so I began eating better to lighten the load and make riding easier. After a bit I promised myself that if I were to lose 30 pounds, I got to get a new, lighter bike. That day came and now I'm on a 2016 Kona Wo and love it. I only need to ride two blocks to be on dirt and pretty much completely alone, just the way I like it. Did I mention that I'm 72 years old? Also I'm an hour West of Las Vegas so I have lots of desert to explore. Looking forward to learning a few things on here, cheers!
