@gingerw, You are such a young whipper snapper! Just thinking of a motorcycle brings a smile! I've been a passenger on one a few times and found the ride exhilarating! Go for it. Good idea and glad your walking poles add balance to your walks. Poles remind me of my first snow skiing attempt. After a 30 minute lesson...I alternated between the poles and my rump to get back down the first trail...spent most of that weekend sipping hot buttered rum and cheering on the others! Smiles
