Well I for 1 do not need a bigger heavier bike. I was planning on driving in today but while oiling the chain I slipped a disk in my back. The bike sure felt heavy trying to wheel it back into the shed. I got my neighbour to help.

I suffer from chronic back pain ( crushed lower verterbrae ) I am happy to be able to ride
when the back allows.

The bike can go any where I need to go. I installed a custome gel cushion padded sued hand grips ( my wife made them ). I have saddle bags ( slanted ) and a tail bag.

I can always solidly hit a steady 120 + km/hr. The roads I travel on have a speed limit of 80 km/hr and I can run 80-100 km/hr easily wind or hills.

The less travelled roads are more enjoyable. ( no one behind you )

Great fuel economy.

Great looks.

EGO ( I am me )

I don't care about the sport bike boys and their A-B racing.

Wind in your face , smell of a woodstove.

Freedom.
Reliability ( 13250 km )
