Met an old guy once at Shady Valley, he was probably close to 80..and was riding a R1!! had almost 100k miles on it, covered with stickers from places he'd been, said since his wife passed he'd just been riding, i asked why he didnt ride something other than a sportbike, but he was kinda hunched over and said he just "fit" on a sportbike...thought that was kinda funny
