Started riding 1966.Never been without a bike since.Last October I took the bike out of the garage and almost dropped it.Got off and told the wife I was finished riding.My diabetes and the bad feet said no more riding.Sold the bike.I enjoyed driving my Porsche but it was getting harder and harder to use the clutch so last Monday I sold the Porsche.I could not be without a converyible so I looked for one with an automatic,I found a great deal on a Mercedes SLK 230,automatic,hardtop convertible so I bought it.It was hard to give up riding but if it's not raining or snowing the top is down and I am satisfied.
