Deaf Bikers

Hi,I'm jack and I live in Apalachicola Fl.I'm retired and I'm 63 years young.I ride an '05 ST1300 Honda and an '02 FZ1 Yamaha.My riding is nearly all 2up with my wife.We use the ST for longer distances touring,pulling a piggybacker trailer and the FZ1 we use for nearer riding.I just discovered this forum and must admit I had never thought much about deaf bikers.I'm not deaf.However,sometimes my wife makes that accusation.I'm joining this forum to learn.I have been riding since 1960 and I guess motorcycles are sorta like therapy for me.When riding I don't think of anything else.I do like my motorcycles.We recently (August '09) toured out west riding the rocky mountain national park.We also rode to the top of Mount Evans and then next day to the Pikes Peak summit.
