Nothing boring about technology making it possible for this ole man to take risks he used to avoid.
I think nothing of riding in the rain today. I used to avoid it.
Same for lousy road conditions.

Boring... really? These are exciting times to be in the ADV market.
But in a few more years the big bikes will be ridding alone (no humans allowed)... you will be riding with a kind of google glasses sitting on the porch of your house.... for me that it is boring (sorry)
let that for youtube... i´m a kind of oldschool on this, i preffer all the HP on my right hand
Today anyone can ride a super sport car, or GP bike... tech does safer (but borring) toys for us
A few years ago (´90) here in Chile we have a little pick up truck, the Volkswagen Saveiro, it was a little pick up with a 1.600cc engine with 79 HP...
they where called "Way to Heaven" because of it´s power and low weight many drivers died in our streets... 79HP!!!! 79!!!! (today you need 500 HP for the same that we done on the ´90 with 150 HP)
Today 79 HP it is a car that my grandmother use to go shopping for diapers for my grandfather

So... Technology do SAFER things, but not necessarily more FUNNY
