Don't feel so bad arstaren, you could have gotten a corporate job and then been "downsized" anyway. As far as BA.com being a geezer site, well most of us bought an America or Speedmaster because they were comfortable. I'm 45 and when I was younger had BMW's with low bars and cafe fairings. Not anymore. I love the Ducati new classics, but just couldn't ride one for any length of time cause it would begin to hurt my wrists. So keep taking the pain meds and keep riding.
