I'm 66, my bride (of 45 years) turned 64 yesterday. I guess that qualifies us as "an older couple." But that wasn't us in Ohio . . . .
I've been there, however. And the others are right, whatever you buy, you have to maintain. Tires need replacement from time to time, wheel bearings need repacking, brakes checked, engine oil replaced, the list is lengthy and depends on the equipment.

I hope I didn't offend anyone in my description of them. I didn't mean they were old, just older then me, lol. It's just that if my Mom was alive they would be around her age and because they weren't younger it just made me feel that much worse for them. They were in good shape and seem to take it in stride but...........
