[QUOTE="OnAnySunday, post: 70025, member: 20641"] I apoligize if i made it sound like women could'nt handle newer bikes. Far rom it! :) My ex and i simply had a prefference for older machinery! True, it began out of economical considerations, but afterwards we realized our riding style (ie: SLOW ;) ) and terrain were more befitting of an older (lower to the ground) machine. I personnally have developed this fondness for old bikes out of nostalgia. And just cause theyre old doesnt mean they are unreliable, or slow. (old Honda's last forever you know! :D ) Example: Several years ago i entered my '82 XL500R in a dualsport/enduro ride in Pa. About half way though the ride we came upon a very steep technical climb. Covered with mossy rocks, and it had rained earlier that day! All the bikes had a terrible time getting up it, and i didnt think i had much of a chance with "Ol'Flash". :( But as luck had it the only 2 to make it on the first try was a new KTM400 dualsport, and (yep) me and "Ol'Flash"! Sorta put a little humility lesson on those brand new bikes! ( "flash" told me to throw that one in! LOL) The lesson is: Dont cast off an old machine just cause its old. That same bike may come back to haunt (and pass) you some day! :cool: [/QUOTE]
