...and I've been riding since 1948.

Sir, I haven't been riding as long as that. Heck, I haven't even been alive that long. Got my first street bike in 1988. (Interceptor 500) Since then I have participated in progressive tactical racing on some of the fastest motorcycles in the world. (Yamaha YZR-M1 Valentino Rossi replica) and cruised on some of the slowest motorcycles in the world. (harley-davidson...any model)
All those years of hanging around tracks and basically just living amongst motorcycles taught me one thing. THERE IS NO SUBSTITUTE FOR EXPERIENCE. Even after a month of being off a bike, one can loose some skill. And nobody ever has as much skill as they think they do. I would enjoy riding with a man such as yourself because you have what no class can teach and that is experience.
