Age 62 (mentally 16) retired at age 58.  Enjoy riding daily.  Prefer upright bikes that have good leg room . . . Adventure style and naked etc.  Yes, a larger gas tank would be nice.  Currently live in Jefferson GA (in the country) . . . nice curvy roads.  
 
My -09 is very smooth and exciting to ride . . . Keeps the adrenalin flowing.  Added a larger screen off my Vstrom for added wind protection.

I'm in Alpharetta. Also 62 with a 16 year old mine. Used to have a V-Strom. The Tracer is a good choice for this time of life! Welcome!

Welcome Mcmann,

North Georgia has some great roads.  Have you been up the south side of Blood Mountain yet??

I am 59 and mentally very young, although on occasion my body tries to remind me of my true age.  Retired at 56 and love to ride often.  Like you I prefer the generous ergonomics of sport touring / adventure style bikes. 

I had hoped to move to north Georgia or western North Carolina upon retirement but have too much family here. Hope you are loving your new home.
