That being said, I'm over 50 and haven't ridden for more than 3 decades (and that was a little Honda dirt bike), so I know I need to start slowly. That's why I'm already planning on--if I buy this one--having it towed to and from the garage.

So right now all I need is a bike! I've been holding out to look at this one before I consider others, just because I connected with the guy's wife locally and I'm hoping she is ready to clear out the garage. She has been too busy for me to come by until now.

One thing that just occurred to me is that the registration is probably in his name. Is that going to be a problem for her to sell it to me?
Good for you in getting the gear first and your lessons too. I pretty much did the same thing. Ah.....well except for the lessons which was an eye opener when I finally did. I still shudder when I realize how bad I was after years of riding. Bad habits were just waiting to bite me big time.
