I can only add that as probably of similar advancing years I have recently bought and sold to leave me with a smaller capacity but older still classic bike, kinder on my right foot. My biking enjoyment is gained not from being another form of transport but pride of ownership and the privilege and challenge of riding around on something so old but still running. The ensuing compliments and interest shown is icing on the cake.

For me now as well as being ridiculously fast and easy to ride, any modern big bike would present little challenge and for that reason I guess would quicky tire of using it.

On the other hand this would be tempting though wink
