Welcome to the forum bobdog.You are never too old,I still ride and I have just turned 78,but it’s a KTM 250 I bought after I sold my VTR quite recently.The KTM is only used for green laning it’s a bit scarey to ride on the road with the knobbly tyres.

Welcome aboard Bob from Seattle

Nice introduction
It sounds like you found a fine example of a nice low mileage Storm, apart form the colour of course

So funny , I need yellow to find at bike night must be Easyer to see . Kept getting tickets on my sv650s in yellow . We will see how this goes ? I already got pulled over hour after I bought it . But no ticket, wife and I had a good laugh. And of course I wanted the fastest color !!!
