Still riding. Some year I'll have to park the bikes but not this year. I seldom use the foot pedal anymore since front disks became so effective. My first bike was a '55 Harley with a cable operated drum brake in front. That needed all the help it could get to stop. It was so ineffective you didn't get much weight transfer so there wasn't much danger of locking up the rear.
