Last month I celebrated the 26th anniversary of my 29th birthday.

Old, well.....maybe. But:
- I'm steadier in the turns than I used to be..... probably because of arthritus. :wink:
- I have less hearing ability to lose than you young uns.
- I enjoy the fact that when my helmet comes off, some folks are surprised to see grey hair on a guy NOT riding a Harley
- My grandchildren think the fact that Grampa Bill rides is pretty neat.: 8)
- My desire to recklessly show off to impress the girls faded a long time ago (about the time girls lost all interest no matter what I was doing :cry: ).
- My favorite passenger still likes to give me a squeeze with her thighs and I still like it (I like it a LOT :twisted: ).

T'ain't all bad.

If I'm going to grow up, I'd better hurry.....oh well.

"Rode my first street legal motorcycle in 1968."

That's about right for me too. Although it was a lowly moped it was street legal.

You reckon?

Even if I had the looks - sadly I am lacking in the talent department and flamboyancy :D

Probably I should try growing moustache :D :D :D however I am not quite sure how that would go with the ladies. :smt043 :oops: :smt043
