I am 52 years old and have been riding on the street since 16. My present 2 bikes are a 2000 HD Screaming Eagle Road Glide with over 100,000 miles that I have owned since new. About 4000 miles ago I stroked the engine to 117 inches. I have been to 37 states on it. Here is a pic from a few years ago on one of my Sturgis trips. I also have a 2000 FXR-4 that is for sale.

I was an expert racer in WERA on Ducati and I also raced an R6 for awhile. I still teach a lot of motorcycle track schools. I don't have a sport bike now but I have a 2012 Harley street glide that I love riding. I am trying to decide which sport bike to get next. It is between a panigali and a R1. I have been riding for the past 15 years on the track so I am kinda burned out with it.

I ride an old man's bike 
A Goldwing GL1800A with an aux tank and other farkels. I do Iron Butt Association (IBA) long distance rides. My most challenging to date was a 48 state ride in 9 days 9 Hours and change. I call the Goldwing a couch rocket.

During those years we routinely drove from Dallas to Kerrville, TX to ride the Holy Trinity (aka the Three Twisted Sisters) in Central Texas. And during one one of those trips I pushed the Blackbird (aka Dos Equis) up to a speedometer-indicated 195 mph (we suspected it was actually about 175 since the speedo was about 10% optimistic) on a straight back road near San Saba, TX.
A year later my two sons (then ages 21 and 14) and I rode the Goldwing and the Dos Equis 4,000 miles in 6 days - Dallas to the four corners area in southwestern Colorado - and had a blast. Durango to Ouray, Colorado and back, all on the Million Dollar Highway, was our favorite run during that trip - we did it daily. Most spectacular riding/driving I have ever done. Even beats US 1 (the PHC) and Mulholland Highway.
But no more. Old age and worn-out joints no longer tollerate 2-wheeled action. That's OK - my 2002 MY 575 rwhp coupe more-than-adequately scratches the itch.
