I am like you. I ride because I enjoy the ride, and the wind therapy. Since I am almost 80 years old, I just stay on the back roads and enjoy the scenery at slower speeds. I don't ride in the cold or rain, so I may not be considered a biker, but I am still on two wheels, and I keep it between the ditches.
Ya, I’m not real big on riding in the rain or cold either. I’ll do it if I need to, but I much rather like cruising the back roads and taking in the scenery. The “real biker” thing doesn’t really matter to me.
