Really sorry to hear about your Dad, I hope he heals quickly. Most of us that have been riding for decades have seen the change in drivers attention span over the years. People used to actually stop at stop signs a few years ago, now they just slow down with the intention of driving thru and plan to stop only if someone is on the road. Bike week was a little crazier than normal, I won't go into details but I have never had so many close calls than I did last week, a few were people on motorcycles. I'm all for mandatory testing after a certain age, most will pass but some just don't belong on the road. Items that distract drivers like cell phones etc. needs to be addressed before any more lives are altered or lost. Can't remember the post but I remember someone writing about how much easier it is to drive and do multi tasking versus the older days when you needed two hands on the wheel. We are making everything faster & easier for people to get hurt. Can't blame you for your decision but it's a darn shame that it's for your own safety reasons. I think we all have the idea of stopping riding when we want to, we want it to be our decision not from feeling like a potential victim out there. It's not going to get better that's for sure. I live in NH so if you need any assistance with storage or need anything else please PM me.
Best of luck in the future.
