Wanna come back

[bahopuwet]

I have been riding a Harley for the last 5 years and thinking about switching back to a Hayabusa. My last one was an ‘07 and I missed the hell out of it. I’m 52 right now and people think I’m crazy for doing so but hey it’s my life and I want to get back to the one I love. Any advice or opinion on this? Thanks.

Here's the answer to that question... And I'm 15 years older then you. Never to Old ! I love em both.

Whichever bike speaks to you is the one you should ride. I bought mine at age 56 but I’d been riding on the street since the 60s. My brother is 75 and he’s been riding Harley’s all his life. He still rides his Dyna. What makes you happy is what’s important.

Picking up a ‘17 Hayabusa tomorrow. I wish I could keep both but old lady only allows me one. Hehe.

Maybe switch old ladies?
2 bikes is better than 1

I'm 49 and I've had Harleys and sportbikes. I'm back on my 17 Busa and love it. Ride what makes you happy.

I sure wish a GEN3 would land in my lap and make my decisions for me...

I'll be 52 in October. I got a 14 and a busa. No old lady, as you might expect. Now a young lady???? that might get me to quit.

There is no age limit on what you ride! Go for what makes you happy and keeps you on 2 wheels

I got my Busa at 47 and i did my last track day a year ago at 55. Never had any physical issue even spending 8-10 hour days riding the Busa. Funny thing is when I got the BMW K1600 I had problems with back spasms! So the big thing about being old is the body doesn't like change, even change to a supposedly more comfortable bike.

maybe some muscle relaxers until u toughen ure back up... they make ya feel pretty good too.... I suggest muscle relaxers and ambien to sleep.... I work nights now.. thank god for ambien.

Best thing for back muscle problems is sit ups and leg lifts. Works wonders. Drugs are always last resort.

keep us updated on the spasms.... but arch.... ure muscles have to heal first BEFORE u work them,,,, ure developing new muscles...

 

[fallenarch]

Much better already. I wore a brace for a couple days and back to normal.

Two women are better than one.....There fixed it for you!

Turned 50 last month , not going to stop riding , until physically unable . I got 2 dependents in my life that do however cause me to be mindful of my street riding and overall what time I get to spend riding . I don't think I'd be attracting a lady that didn't already like motorcycles , or content to let me have my own life choices , such as riding motorcycles . Even if bikes aren't a fully shared experience in a relationship , no matter if you can enjoy your choices . Nothing better than to take your lady out for a ride on the bike though , or even more common nowadays , your lady has her own bike to ride with you . Just go all out to keep things on the fun side of riding , I guess .

I'm a little older than you and have two bikes. Depending on the trip dictates which one I take...solo it is usually the Busa!
