So I have ridden 180k miles over the last 6 years. First on a cb750 then a, 2008 zx6r, fz09 and finally a Yamaha super tenere which I just hit 50k after 15 months.
What I have noticed is that I recover much faster as a younger man and now as 36 year not so much. After being in the service and carrying 120lb artillery rounds, body armor/gear weighting 45lb for training and deployment my body is no longer the same.
Now I am suffering back, neck and hand issues after riding long distance touring on a motorcycle. I have been a tons of short rides, day and some week long rides. But now i can't do anymore and it feels weird. I have learned that time waits for no man and that we must enjoy every moment on two wheels. For those who don't understand this post/thread comment what you have learned being on two wheels and what health issues you have gone through. For myself I have learned that as a young man I felt indestructible and now that time is a gift
