what did you do with your fazer today ?

[unfazed]

I'm so glad I didn't offend anyone with that "middle aged" remark,it certainly wasn't the intention.I think that experienced bikers no matter how old they are will be reluctant to take their pride and joy out in rough weather when through no fault of their own can easily end up with a slow skid at best and at worst an off which will almost certainly end up costing a few bob.Up until last year I would put whatever big bike I had at the time away for the winter and get my trusty CG 125 out and as if to prove anything one way or another for the last 6years I was brought off or fell off that bike every winter at least once a year.It really did crash well,only once did I have to get it picked up! but if I did have to use the big 'un for whatever reason I was really on edge,no fun at all. :groan

Middle age is a state of mind instilled on people by health services and governments, it is highly  likely you didn't offend anybody as most of us who are over sixty in years are really sixty something going on thirty something  :finger :rollin
I was never bothered by when people ride their bike/s as long as they enjoy it when they do ride them.
I ride all year round on the Fazers or Serow, but since I retired a year ago I do not need to ride on frosty icy, snowy days, (quite enjoy riding in snow though).
My biggest problem is if I don't ride the bike at least once a week it just does not feel right.
When I was working those who did not ride a bike to work as I did could never understand why I always arrived to work smiling, but anyone who rides a bike knows why  :lol
