    You won't be too old Joe. I've known several riders well into their 70's that continue to tour on bikes. Me, I'm more into comfort as I get older. My idea of touring is in a 40+ foot motor home with all of the comforts of home in it, and a very well stocked refrigerator.

    Better yet tour with your bike and other toys and hit up local areas to explore where the camper can’t go. That’s where you’ll really get those unique experiences and feeling of freedom.

    I say that we get back to bashing brokers. If we don’t get these greedy brokers to come off with more money, then we’re all going to starve come February o_O

    I hope that February 2021 will be the month when I and my family will be on vacation at some nice resort in Riviera Maya,Mexico, while this northern Illinois part covered by lake-effect snow and temps below 20s.

    I hope this C-19 will be gone and forgotten by then.
    I don't know about you guys but I start having some doubts, if we were not duped with the pandemic or at least I was fooled about it at some point.
    I heard some gun shots overnight in my neighborhood last night, police sirens followed soon. They report crime increased by 35% in Chicago area during pandemic. They still limit how many 9mm FMJ rounds you can buy for practicing... How many more died because of that increased crime and how money died due to some respiratory complications in the same period and I mean normal people up to 75 years of age, not some old seniors that were pushing 98-100 years..?

    The whole corona thing was BS from the beginning. It's a flu bug like any other flu virus that goes thru every fall and winter. And look at all the insanity with masks and what not. I got refused service in a restaurant in Virgina a few weeks ago over a mask. I told the girl I hoped the governor was giving her a bounty on every tipping customer she turned away. It was a Flying J Denny's and I probably dodged a bullet on lousy service anyways lol

    The 70+ would be a lot higher recovery rate if certain states wouldn’t have sent infected people back to old folks home to mingle with other old folks.

    I was really happy for the people of Florida that their governor removed ALL restrictions. I think most all of us are ready to stop with the fear and panic.

    Happy Birthday Scooter!
