SilvrT Posted June 6, 2016 #1 Posted June 6, 2016 Nina and I have decided to semi-retire from riding in favour of a more relaxing pastime. We'll probably keep the Roady if it doesn't sell for those few times when we "get the urge". Our Victory will be Available for purchase as of July 11th (right after Kruisn Kootenays). I will post an ad at the beginning of July. If anyone is interested, contact me via PM.

SilvrT Posted June 6, 2016 Author #3 Posted June 6, 2016 Gday, RIDING IS THE MOST RELAXING PASSTIME!!!!!! It was... once. But now after almost 50 years of it and knocking at the door of 70 for both of us it's getting to be more of a chore than a pleasure.

BlueSky Posted June 7, 2016 #6 Posted June 7, 2016 Seems like you change your mind a lot about selling that VIC!!
bongobobny Posted June 7, 2016 #8 Posted June 7, 2016 Yah! This year the wife won't be riding as much, but after all she is 73! I know I am thinking that in a couple more years I might (or might not) give up riding too...
SilvrT Posted June 7, 2016 Author #9 Posted June 7, 2016 Seems like you change your mind a lot about selling that VIC!! ya... one might mistake me for a woman the way I change my mind LOL! Well, the Vic is an awesome bike and I'd like to keep it but selling it can bring in a lot of cash that we can use in other ways. We still have the Roady although I have it for sale also but there's been only one person show any interest since March when I first advertised it. There's a lot of that style of bike for sale around here so it might not sell, which is fine with me because I still want something to ride now and then. Just tired of always riding and especially taking longer trips.
SilvrT Posted June 7, 2016 Author #10 Posted June 7, 2016 Total respect for you sir, hope to are not retiring from your forum input!!! Not a chance of that ... too many friends here to stay in touch with.
SilvrT Posted June 7, 2016 Author #11 Posted June 7, 2016 Crips Just dont buy a Miata or MX5. Nope, ... 2 kayaks and a camper LOL
djh3 Posted June 8, 2016 #12 Posted June 8, 2016 I keep toying with the idea of a toy hauler camper. Just dont think I will be able to use it very much.

Cain't seem to get caught up. Right there with ya brother,, it is sooooooooooooooo hard to go there.. Like you, fighting all the health issues I have in the last couple years its now almost a daily discussion around here to just keep the new scoot for local Hot Dog parties and pick up a Jeep CJ for cross country play when the Doctors stop taking all our extra cash.. Something Tip could drive if she had to.. Get this,,, we have even talked about picking up a small trailer to pull behind it.. My problem is that biking is in my very soul,,, giving up dirt riding was hard enough - breaks my heart to even think about now tossing in the towel on touring on a scoot too..
SilvrT Posted June 8, 2016 Author #14 Posted June 8, 2016 @cowpuc ... I'm not quite ready to give up riding completely ... want to have something around for those occasional "bar hops" so to speak. Camping can be a chore setting up and taking down but once you get set up, it's relax, reelax, relax ... and I've been a lover of kayaking for many years. Riding has always pushed that aside but we finally broke down and bought a couple kayaks and getting ready for some camping and lake cruisin, 'n fishin.
