Mr Fro Posted August 15, 2017 Posted August 15, 2017 ...my (I think excellent) vigilence was tested on Saturday, and I am ready to bow out.Oh no, what is happened? Quote
Guest Posted August 15, 2017 Posted August 15, 2017 Oh no, what is happened? Although I am 68 - I don't think I am an old biffer - well not quite yet.I was on a local B road with a lot of twists and turns and lots of small rises and drops. As rounded a shallow left I knew there was an entrance to a property coming up on my left.Old biffer in his ancient Rover nosed out a bit too far before looking my way. He braked after I did. No panic or butterflies even - but having enjoyed 35 years of biking on many superbikes and supersports bikes with never an accident, I thought maybe my luck was beginning to run out. So before it does, I recognised my limitations and bit the bullet.I'll stick to my AMG for now. Quote
Stu Posted August 15, 2017 Posted August 15, 2017 Thats a shame [mention]CliveFa[/mention] can you PM me some pics, prices and info about the textile trousers please? Quote
Troy Posted August 15, 2017 Posted August 15, 2017 Maybe interested in the pannier bags, tank bag, and tail bag. Some pics of them if possible please.Also front paddock stand possibly. Quote
Mr Fro Posted August 15, 2017 Posted August 15, 2017 Fair doos. Glad it wasn't anything too crashy. Quote
Joeman Posted August 15, 2017 Posted August 15, 2017 I hope when I get to 68 I'm in a position to decide it's time for me to stop riding sportsbikes! Quote
JRH Posted August 15, 2017 Posted August 15, 2017 Sorry to hear that Clivefa. But glad it was no more than that. Enjoy the AMG I hope when I get to 68 I'm in a position to decide it's time for me to stop riding sportsbikes! I decided at 61 I could not be comfy on sports bikes any more. Quote

Hoggs Posted August 16, 2017 Posted August 16, 2017 Sorry to hear that Clive, but I guess it's always better to walk away on your own terms Quote
Tankbag Posted August 16, 2017 Posted August 16, 2017 Sorry to read this Clive, have you considered an outfit ? I met a guy a few weeks ago 87 years young rides most days, he turned up on his ZRX1200 with a beautiful Watsonian GP sidecar. Either way, you’ve got your AMG Quote

fastbob Posted August 17, 2017 Posted August 17, 2017 Sorry to hear you're quitting, why not just get a low performance bike like an er5 or a Royal Enfield . I ride a GSXR 1100 and an ER5 and I'm tending to be drawn towards the ER5 more and more as I get older . I'm reluctant to admit it but I get a bigger grin on the ER5. Quote

I met a guy a few weeks ago 87 years young rides most days, he turned up on his ZRX1200 with a beautiful Watsonian GP sidecar. Either way, you’ve got your AMG I would never ride an outfit. All the disadvantages of a bike and a car. Respect to the bloke of 87. Quote
