Clearly, your number of years in the saddle means you are doing something right. We all know the risk is there. I'm 62 and been riding for 39 years (off & on).
I sold my 1948 Pan because of "that" feeling, 3 years later I was back on the road with my 1951 Pan. Had that bike for 22 years and was still having the "close calls" with the cages. In 1987 I center punched a car at 65 MPH, the guy pulled a left turn right in front of me, had nowhere to go. It laid me up for a year with one operation, as soon as I could get to move around I started the rebuild. Sold that Pan in 2002, retired and moved to Montana to live in the woods. Figured I had it all, log cabin, 20 acres, and most of all "space" ! What was missing was my bike, this year I went and bought myself a 2006 Road King Classic. Now things are right...
The underlying point to the story, if it's in you "don't fight it", you only live once !!!!
