Started back ridin about 03. I got a bad back from a car wreck but that is managable. My shoulders started bothering me too. I got a chiropractor/massage therapist who got my left one straight. My right shoulder began to do the same thing till I wrecked my 05 speedmaster and ripped everything in it. After it has healed there is no problem. I've had no surgeries either. Just God's grace. I'm 50 now and see a chiropractor regularly. I tell my friends when I can't ride my Triumph anymore I'm gonna get a Gold Wing. Maybe a Rocket to stay with Triumph. I think the RV crowd would open up to you but I know it wouldn't be the same. Something about that open road. Take care and good luck.
