Is High End Audio catchin' up with you all?

@ghdprentice , As our discs desiccate and we loose height we all get pot bellies. Keep up the riding, best aerobic sport for us old guys. I'm up in New England. My wife and I got Tacx Neo Smart 2 trainers and we ride all over the world from our exercise room. We do it for real in the Summer. Winter is for skiing. All my cycling friends are into two things, audio and cars (or motorcycles). I may look like the guy on the right but my Ducati makes me feel like the guy on the left.  Funny that it is still about the sound. A Ducati L twin is the best sounding motorcycle by far.

A little off topic. Would something like the Tacx Neo be useful for someone who has had recent L5/S1 artificial disc replacement with the ActiveL disc? I had the disc replacement procedure on 1 July and tried Peloton bike, but leaning forward hurts after a few minutes. I have a new Norditrack X32 for walking which feels good…but, I have lingering Sciatica pain in my feet and post sprained ankle arthritis flairs up after a few days of using the treadmill. Our local club house has a recumbent bike which I use off and on,but, I had right hip surgery 2 years ago for a torn labrum and peddling in that position after a short while causes a burn at the hip. I was told swimming is the best for my particular recovery. On a good note. I can rearchitect farther, lift more than 20 pounds, weened myself off Gabapentin by using Nervive and eating more healthy. Stopped going to PT, well, too many people sick. I am able to do the PT stuff at home anyway with all my PT gear for all of my other ailments over the years. 

I’m an outlier like Carlsbad.  50 to 60 beers a week.  5 to 6 days a week in bars chasing women half my age. Few can keep up.

I don’t work 60 hours a week anymore. I don’t want to.  When I listen to music, I focus on the music and little else.

I weigh 50 more pounds than I did as a skinny 6’5” high school geek who was offered an appointment to West Point by Bobby Knight.

Machines break down.  Too bad we don’t live forever.
