I totally agree about the potential insanity of people on the road when you commute by motorcycle. I ride from March through December in New England. Fortunately there is a large population of bikers in this area, and they promote safety all over the place. But that doesn't stop the crazies from doing what they do. I recently had a pickup trcuck come up behind me at 80 and when I accelerated to get over into the next lane he got closer and sped up with me. I guess he has never run over a motorcycle at 90 mph....
All it takes is one distraction and down you go.  All the years I drove a truck really taught me how to read traffic. That experience has made a huge difference in how I ride my Harley.

Stick around! There are some other 'older' guys here with physical disabilities due to age... you are not alone... I just lost my house, car, drums, and a lot of sleep in my divorce, so you are not alone there either. I am down to 3 guitars... the rest got sold right after the drums... so you have 5 to go to catch up with me! HA!

Keep the faith.... after three brutal years, I am finally seeing the light at the end of the tunnel... or is that the sunrise of a new day? ( there' a lyric for you...)

No one ever told me it was going to be easy. You just have to find your own peace and happiness where you can.... like in your guitar playing! A lot of the rest of life you just have to work through...

Hope to see you around... I plkan on being back on a regular basis...

Not a vanity thing here. My Harley is pretty, but it gets 40+ mpg.... It is becoming a necessity  on the 80 mile per day commute.

Cracks me up whenever I get passed by a crotch rocket doing a wheelie on the highway.

I guess there's good and bad in every crowd regardless what you ride or drive.

And there is ALWAYS the option of selling your drums and buying a Harley!  :lol:
