Large part of the reason I stopped riding while the kids grow up . One day I would have run out of luck and ridden right off the edge. So now I live for the thrill of the chase I guess instead. And being in the scenery rather than looking out of the window at it.

Dunna. I've owned and ridden bikes for 55 years and still do. Luck was never a a prerequisite to head off to ride for me, probably more of a lifestyle. My first car I bought only because eventually, I was a father at age 35 and married. I still own an old Ironhead for my sins and can barely kick the bastard into life. Still still buy bikes to keep me in the real world. Don't give up, keep loving the buggers. If only for the therapy.
