Mark, I'm 70 years old. I reckon our enthusiasm for the Shockwave is one of the things that keeps us young. I read our comments to my wife, and after much laughter, she said you and I are crazy.Ah, Rico. I really do enjoy reading your posts. However, this young whippersnapper will turn 72 this month and I already sold what I could to get the "experienced lady". She gives a great ride and makes me smile from start to finish.
