Cadillac Forums: What does everyone here want for Christmas?
After giving this question some really deep & serious thought, forget the XLR I said I wanted in page one of this, #'s 2 & 3 or close to that. You young guys need to hear the truth:-
I'd like to get back the perfect health that I had in my 20's that I sacrificed to gain alot of money. Money, that I am now sacrificing to Drs. to try and regain my health. Ulcers, hi blood pressure, bad stomach, dead nerves in toes and more.

I am 55 until this Saturday...... 4 more days of "55" ~ Your Dad speaks Gospel!
He is a good man, Him and I are very similar he broke a lot of bones and many injures over the years and now he is paying for them. Now i am going down the same road. Just got recovered from a motorcycle accident.
'Ya wanna live? Sell the bike! I've been to more funerals for friends my age, because of 'cycles, than I have for illness or "old" age. Quit while you're ahead. They (bikes) are not the culprit, the idiot over there in the Toyopet that don't see you.....HE'S the danger!! (Unless yoiu live in a very rural area with rural roads and little traffic....say northern Vermont!). You don't want this to happen to you
You know, speaking as someone who rides, quite often. It's hard to give it up. It's more then transport, it's more then a lifestyle. It's like a cross between a sickness and a religion. It's not like you can just turn your back on your religion, and the sickness is still waiting for a cure. I've had friends get seriously injured and even die. I've been on the brunt side of a 4 door myself, but you just can't give it up. You even have those moments of doubt were you say maybe I should take a brake, but sooner or later you throw a leg over again. There are 2 types of riders. The kind that live in ignorence and the kind the accept the fact that one day your card is drawn. So you be as carful as you can and enjoy it to it's full potential.

What is that saying, oh ya, with age comes wisdom. I respect and hear what you are saying, and I wouldn't tell you what to do, but knowing what crappy car drivers out there, does it not bother you? I mean, there are so many drunk drivers out there. They just released numbers for our province, and get this, 2 out of 5 drivers on the highway have been drinking, or are drunk! Sure, someday you card may be drawn, but why hasten the risk?? Life from a wheelchair would take some getting used to. I've had friends in that situation also.
