I am starting to think that about my R100. Taking it out of my workshop today it almost fell over on me.
I'm not a big guy and I'm getting soooooo old.

How old mate ? I'm just a boy .62 in a week ! It doesn't mean I don't enjoy something lighter and more flickable .The ST is a lovely bike on the road, good on dirt roads too but heavy without the engine running .

One should avoid riding one's BMW without the engine running.

You're right, I should give it up ,it gets tiring after a few miles .

That's when technique must evolve with age. Otherwise a postie bike will soon become ominous.
