    What might you see on a bike of mine?

    Steering dampener
    Oil cooler
    Radar detector

    and new for this year...

    Fork brace!

    And that's it! I know some of you are going to tell me about how much tassels add to your riding experience, but you're wasting your breath.

      Rob, Honest question. Being familiar with your story. Not wanting to rub salt in it. Are you planning a return to riding?

        No. The last time I drove a car, I totaled it (large Cadillac). The last time I rode a motorcycle, I totaled it (new Sportster). I really don't miss the responsibility. Plus $200 a month to park the bikes, $200 a month to park the car, insurance, registration, etc.

        And I can't upshift with my left foot. Of course, the most beautiful bike in the world, the '72 Sportster, has a right side shift. Know where I can get one for less than $100k?
