Got sick

[Pop-Pop]

So, i treated my body like a play ground for years. The cigs caught up to me. Blood preassure is in the attic and the blood ox is in the cellar.
Because of this i get dizzy and poor balance.

I have to quit riding because i dont want to hurt anything.
Looks like myself and my dog are taking ip car camping!

It has been a wonderful ride! 80,000 miles over 2 1/2 years on my 1100! 10,000 with my 700! And a few with the beemer

Very grateful for it all!

Bike is for sale but im keeping the mutt!
Ride safe!

Sad to hear this, man.
But as I'm fond of saying, ...if I'd known I was gonna live this long, I'd have taken better care of myself.
Me?
I ain't gonna let the OLD MAN in!

I still have a few miles in me. In a cage regrettably. I knew this day was coming. Getting ready to take my dog to saguaro natl park.

Thanks!

Sorry to hear that Mike, but many here have had to make similar choices. Good to see your companion is there to keep an eye on you.

Sorry to read this, but its good that you realized it was time to hang it up before you got hurt. I hope to have a few more years and hope I have your sense and resolve when the time comes.

Have fun on your trip with tbe pooch

I'm really sorry to hear that Mike. Glad you got as much riding in as you did and that you and the pup will have many more to come.

Have you tried this, many have turned it around.

Good you have some great ones and may you get many more like them!

Besides, THAT guy isn't around anymore...

Sorry to see that. My brother has had to give up riding as well.

Come on out to WeSTOC30 in September, there will be plenty of places to take a four wheeled vehicle!

Make more memories too!

I'll be 71 this month, and I plan on riding as long as I'm breathing.

Just asking, is it a COPD thing and the altitude in Colorado is making it worse? Are you now oxygen dependent (like supplemental O2)?
