    Getting old sucks, period. I'm not liking it.

    Hang in there old bean; and when it's not safe for you to be on two wheels any more, park it. You and only you will know when that day comes.

    The experiences will be with you forever; and the wealth of knowledge doesn't go away because you're "garaged."

    We've all learned a lot from you, I know I have. We're here; and we're still learning.

    Be well and stay with us.

    So sorry to hear.

    For what its worth, my father has stage 3 parkinsons and is 80, he's still tooling around the house doing yard work, giving my mother hell and generally being my crazy old father. His memory is going but we are thankful its not alzheimers.

    We only received the diagnosis late and have limited treatment options, if you catch it early you have a lot more options!

    Damn Rick, sorry to hear.....

    There seems to be a ,lot more of it around these days, but also a lot mre treatment options.
    Keep active and engaged and doing the things you love to do.

    You and Fitz were mejor factors in me getting my Baby Max runnig (otherwise I'd probably still be growling at it my back yard) So I expect you to keep driving home the basic points and sharing those little tidbits that work so very well. All the newbies will be needing that info :)

    (Also after acquiring the SV earlier this year, haven't sold the Max yet, will be storing for the winter and depending on spring finances, may end up holding on to her yet....)

    As you can see you have a lot of support and fans on here,,,,,
    Take care

    Rick, I'm sorry to hear this. I know this must be a hard time for you and your family. You and your family are certainly in our prayers. You have done so much for me, and many others on this site. If there is anything I can do for you, let me know.

    Oh Man, that bites big time :( . I've learned so much by reading your posts. I have really enjoyed how you've made me feel like I'm in the right place. My thoughts are with you during this time of change in your life.

    How are you these days Rick?

    Your health crossed my mind a couple weeks back when I was reflecting on just how grateful I was to take the bike out for the first time this spring and thinking about just how big a grin that comes across my face being able to do so

    Wishing the best,

    Chris
