Last Friday evening I met several members of the Ontario Sport Riding club (OSR) at a charity event in London and though my classic Virago and I were surrounded by many sport bikes and much younger riders I realized, after a few conversations, all of us enjoy many of the same things related to biking.
For example:
- The lure of riding two wheels on the open road
- Exceptional rides on stretches of curving or hilly highway
- The thought (for some of us) of the wind blowing through what’s left of our hair
- The gleam of hard machinery
- Motor muscle, enough to get our butts from A to B as if by jet aircraft
- Soaring outside the cage
The ability to stop for a few seconds in the middle of a bridge to enjoy a view one would never see from behind the wheel of a car
- Thoughts about our next bike (there’s always the ‘next’ bike) and how we can adjust to higher fuel prices e.g. smaller engine, shorter tours, more shared rides
And much more.

Hey, you'll always be able to feel the wind blowing through your beard!
i do have that to look forward to on my new mid-size scooter (coming soon after I sell the big Virago in 2009).
