Hate to do this
Well I made the big step and bought a new 2010 red Grand Sport convertible. Loved my 2001 but when I told the wife I was going to buy a new Harley she said I already had one and then she said why don't you buy a Grand Sport. So we now own one but I would rather have the new Harley & my 2001. So I will now sign off but will come back and check once in a while

Will I miss motorcycles, you bet. Will I be able to retire my leathers - time will tell.

I just sold my 2008 Goldwing that i bought new. I also sold my pop-up camper I pulled with the wing. This was a very difficult thing for me to do but at 65 & after riding motorcycles 50 plus years I just felt it was time for me to hang it up. In all my years of riding I never went down. If i would go down at this stag in my life, it would hurt, hurt a lot! That along with the fact that my wife isn't able to ride anymore, it was the right thing for me to do.

Don't apologize for buying a GS - it's a great car and you'll enjoy driving it a lot. Congrats.

I put 12,000 on the wing last year - I use to ride 20/25 thousand a year - My wife rode second seat for 48 years - she pretty much had to gave it up 2 years ago - she has MS & this past winter wasn't kind to her - After that many years having her with me it just wasn't the same - We have to take the cards that are delt to us & try to make the best hand we can - Tom

I'll admit I was drooling over a Crystal Red GS the other day, and a white one, and a couple of ZR1's. 
It will be really hard for me to not buy a used C6 Z06 or GS when I can afford it, but I am keeping the C5 said my wife, it is our first and will be the dedicated race car someday.
