Three back operations over 6 years took me out for a while too. We only do about 300-350 miles a day and that is enough for me and wife both.

Get a Goldwing. It will ride as smooth as that Corvette. That is what we ride most of the time. In Seattle now on one.

Or a Can Am Spyder. Just bought one of those for wife. Have to pick it up in Texas on the 11th. Wind in your hair and sits like a motorcycle but drives more like a sports car. Rides very smooth. That is likely what I will go to when I can no longer hold the Goldwing up.

Gel seat pad makes all the difference in the world. I use one on the motorcycle, in the car on long trips, on any of the numerous tractors I drive, on the bulldozer, zero turn lawnmower............ Anyone with back problems needs a gell cushion. I think the one I have is 3/4". Wife sewed a nice zippered cover for it so the cover can come off and be washed. I'm not kidding. It makes all the difference in the world. Even in a good suspended air seat like our big tractors and semi's have, the gell seat takes out those little tiny jolts that hammer on your back all day. Your Corvette could definitely use it.
