After reading this I now know what I want to be when I grow up---an 80 year old grandfather who rides a crotch-rocket for fun.
Great story. I'm impressed and hope I can still ride when I'm 80.

Nice riding and pics too.
I guess no one has told you that you can't ride that far on a 650--especially on wood beads.
