You don't need a bike to have fun at a lot of these Rally's. Just walk around in a Black Harley T Shirt with a beer .

Good move on dousing the riding flame. I did too a few years ago and miss it all the time but the combination of age and more distracted and stupid drivers makes it a good choice.

Statistics say your no more likely to get into a crash than a car driver but much less likely to walk away. Wanna spend money on a new toy get a boat.
