    Facing reality . . .

    I quit riding motorcycles after 45 years about 10 years ago. I no longer felt safe and my reaction time was slowing. I know I cannot drive as good.

    Taking a poll . . .

    Never ridden or driven a T Bucket. However first rides are a big deal. When I was about 12 my mom's cousin showed up in Triumph TR3. What a ride with your butt about 8 inches from the ground, wind, and noise. I bought one when I turned 18 wish I still had it. When I was about 10 my Dad took me...
