Bikes: Trying to Replace an old aluminum Raleigh

New member - lots to learn

I'm a very young 65 (my Z06 Vette still does 0 - 60 in under 4 seconds). I've been out of biking for a long time - wanted to start again and had sticker shock at the brick & morter dealers. Tried to do a lot of homework on components, brands, models, etc without a pro looking over my shoulder. Wound up ordering a Moto Immoral Spirit (guess that's Immortal). Had a near fatal heart attack in '90 - ended up with no heart muscle damage & 5 bypasses - I'm in great health by the grace of God. I am sick of my treadmill routine - feel like the last dog in a sled dog team - the scenery never changes!

Anyway I spend my days in my home office - I'm an Independent Insurance Agent writing for around a dozen companies so that keeps me out of the pool hall and in groceries and an occasional fill up on the Vette (ouch).

Looking forward to reading good advice from members who unlike me really know what they're doing.

Thanks,
Glen L Pankratz
