By "ish " I meant 57 ....

Hello to all and each . I'm returning to the world of biking after a lull of about oooooh 30 odd years or so .

I used to commute from Swansea to Bristol daily on a Pan European, wonderfull !

I recently underwent a life changing experience .. renal failure ! ... I came out of that and thought " sod it !, life is short, I'm gonna have some fun and enjoy myself "

Foolishly I thought I was still 30 odd years old and bought myself a Pan ! Wrong decision , lovely as it was I had to admit it was too much bike for me, I no longer had the physical or mental ability to handle one of these ... so I bought it on a Friday, and sold it on the Sunday.

I'm now the proud owner of an xvs 650 dragstar, 97 , 15,200 ish miles ... black and shiney and beautifull.

What a lovely shape these bike are !.

I had confidence on this bike immediately, centre of gravity etc etc, so when I eventually convince my wife to " come along " It'll all be ok ... hmmmm

I'll be back soon and look out for rides and chat etc.. keep smiling.

Dave.

Hi

The 650 Draggy is a good choice as you have found, I am not far off reaching your age and too find the Draggy easy to handle and the wife enjoys going on the back although she did insist on a sissy bar/backrest.
