OP: you need to do the SMR some time. You'll find plenty of old bold riders there. Plus, it's just a damned fun ride. :ride

Equipment lesson back then: I had my helmet strapped to the side of my bike because it was hot. I went to get new tires, lost the GS1000 on cement, bounced my face off of a BMW 2002 bumper. That was the last time I took my helmet off to ride in the street.

When I started riding no one wore a helmet except those who raced. We wore them all the time:thumbup Never understood the rider with a wool cap to keep their head warm.

People, including me, were wearing Bell driving helmets, because there were so few choices for motorcyclists. And leathers cost more than bikes. It was different, for sure. :laughing
