Two and a half years later and it has only gotten worse; not a big surprise. Long ago I decided to just enjoying life day by day. The Black Swan is out there somewhere... circling but I'm a geezer who won't outlive a SHTF event so "Life is life". I'll enjoy it while I can.
Update on the bikes. I gave the 600 to my friend and sold the Concours to a very strange physiatrist who worked for the government. That figures, but it was still a very strange transaction. I bought the blue 2013 FZ1 and love it. Just rolled over 10,000 miles on it. No anti-lock brakes, no traction control and, unfortunately, that follows that there is no cruise-control. Oh well. :-) Not riding as much as I did last year due to the mitral valve repair early this year. Hope to change that starting now.
OBTW I'm still among the living. :-)
