Time to downsize

Me and the Mrs.have had four motorcycles since 2017. Two for her,two for me. We decided over the winter,the two heavier bikes were going away. Both of us are vertically challenged,and time to face facts,we are getting older. So with heavy hearts,we sold her 2004 Victory Kingpin,and my 2013 Victory Cross Country. Moving the 800lb + bagger was getting harder and harder,and my wife was struggling to get the Kingpin up from the kickstand. It took less than two weeks to sell both. It’s tough getting old!

    Good for you on facing reality and downsizing on your own terms while you still can. I was in the same situation a year and half ago and sold my 850lb bike that I'd owned since new for 20 years. I thought I'd miss it but honestly I don't.
    Vision isn't a sharp as it was, leg strength isn't what it was 10 years ago and my enthusiasm for riding had also been on a steady decline. Time to let it go and be happy I made it 53 years as a licensed rider with no major mishaps. Good luck to you in finding something else to fill the void.

    So you two are still going to ride the lighter motorcycles and then use the money from the sale of the heavier motorcycles to buy more audio equipment?

    Can-Am? Don't mean to be disrespectful, but seems like a nice way to have your cake and... well you know. ;)
    So, are you willing to put forth a little effort or are you happy sitting in your skeptical poo pile?

    Yep,keeping the two lighter bikes. Just like desert,there is always room for more audio equipment.

    Beautiful bikes. Tough to let them go I'm sure. Hopefully you will still get out and enjoy your other bikes.
