Regarding the RE's, I'm a huge fan. Great bikes for the bucks. Also a fantastic history and heritage.

I was lucky. In the beginning, the stroke affected my right side. As time has passed, I regained function in my leg (I can walk and drive) and some function in my arm though, not enough to be able to ride.
The thing that pisses me off more than anything is the timing. The manufacturers waited so long to bring back the 60s/70s style retro look starting with the Kawasaki W8OO, then Royal Enfield's INT650 and Continental models I didn't get a chance to try any of them out.
It feels like they conspired to play a dirty trick on me. LOL
