Our riding days are over

Post by vxiirider »

Sadly, at my age 89, and my riding partner Mary Jane at age 84, have decided our riding days are over. We have ridden in 45 of the 48 States and 3 Canadian Provinces. The wonderful memories of the good times will be with us for the rest of our lives. I have to put some new tires on the back of the trike and have it serviced, and then it will be for sale. It's a 2002 Honda GL1800 with just over 26,000 miles on the clock.

Bummer. However, congrats on making it to an age where you can't ride anymore.

God Bless you both.Why that beautiful Goldwing is just barely broken in.It sure would look nice in my garage but sadly the Goldwings are generally out of my price range.Best wishes to you both.

John and Mary Jane

I have fond memories of all the AVA Rallies I attended where you and Mary Jane were present. It was always fun, congratulations on making it to the end of your riding career. Just three years ago I came to the end of my 2 wheel riding career. Now on three wheels so if I can get to 89 I have 12 years left.
