I stopped riding/owning motorcycles about 20 years ago when my boys were both toddlers. I didn't want to influence them to ride. Now the boys are on their own, and last year I bought a BMW K1200RS. I am loving it! I don't ride often, just put about 1500 miles on it last year. This summer I'm planning a couple overnighters on the road in the Sierras and along the coast. It's a blast. I'm nowhere near the knee-dragging fool I was in my youth, but still enjoy a spirited ride on a good-handling, quality bike.
