as to the amount of energy expended by motorcycling, all i can do is look at the guys that DH looked like 20 years ago who took up MOTORcycling instead of BIcycling, and they are all to a man bloated with fat, taking all kinds of medication, having trouble walking, etc.
And i've never heard ANYONE call it exercise.

Well, whatever activity you do, if your whole purpose in life is drinking beer, you'll be fat and unhealthy. Sadly, there are many bikers (NOT motorcyclists) whose whole purpose is drinking beer. But that's not riding a motorcycle, that's bar-hopping.
Bicycling has become the cross-training activity of choice among motorcyclists, and many pro motorcyclists train side-by-side with pro bicyclists. That's what kind of cardio condition they have to be in.

All seems ok today. Yesterday, hubby had a small breakdown so we talked. I really do not know what was going on. All is good.
I guess I will have to be more specific when shopping next time. That way I will not run into this problem.

We wash our gloves at least once a week after our long ride--preferably more. My sis never considered it until she accidentally got a whiff the other day--YUCK! I couldn't get to the camera quick enough
