And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
I've been riding for 50 years, but at 67, I'm thinking of trading my Suzuki 650 (450 lbs) for a Husqvarna 401 (310 lbs). I no longer feel the need to go 100+ mph.
Nobody's too old for any motorcycle. A lot of people are too old for Open Reduction/Internal Fixation surgery to install plates and screws, in order to repair long bone fractures.
That's not a Ducati. More likely to be some variant of a HOG. The only cruiser Ducati makes is the XDiavel .
ReplyDeleteHad a Ducati back in the day before I swapped to a more sensible motorcycle (if such thing exists...), there are times I do miss it.
ReplyDeleteHave an aircooled 750 2 valve Supersport, been an all around xcellent machine, has a beautiful exhaustnote.
ReplyDeleteLL has your Ducati!
ReplyDeleteAnd no, absolutely not! See above...(heehee )

Are you too old for a Ducati? Yes! Mrs. CW
ReplyDeleteThe "too old" question has an "it depends" answer...
ReplyDeleteNo - if you know how to ride and are still physically capable then you are not to old for a Duc.
ReplyDeleteI've owned 2 bikes, a BSA Lightning and a Triumph Bonneville. Pretty sure just about any new crotch rocket would kill me in no time flat.

It's a personal choice.
