Not saying there’s anything wrong with riding more modern bikes. Personally, I Iike riding, and maintaining my older bikes…some that I have personally owned for 40+ years. They seem so much more simpler. But…I also enjoy an occasional ride on a more modern bike. IMO, it’s not a lot unlike classic car ownership. Some people like to drive around in a 2024 Lamborghini Huracan. Some folks prefer a ‘67 Camaro that they restored and maintain themselves. To each their own. — Dan
