Sorry guys. Reality check. 2013 - 1969 = 44 not 30.
Time flies.
Getting older is inevitable - growing up is optional.

 

+1^. There are some guys (we've ALL) gone to school with, who seem to "grow up" wanting to be "old." I've never understood that...... Man, "OLD" will find you; no need to go looking for it!!! Once it does find you, there's no return! It's kinda like handing over your Passport in a foreign country.........you just may not get it back!!! Don't flirt with the "being old" thing; just don't do it.

 

Flirt with being old? Heck!...I am old. So what? I'm heading to Moab next Tuesday for two weeks of riding, camping, and tequila drinking. See you young punks out there.

 

I guess what I meant to describe as "being old," are the guys who are 10-20 years younger than many of us, would NEVER consider owning/riding a bike (MUCH too dangerous, you know) or consider working on their own car, or do anything that could POSSIBLY lead them into unchartered or unsafe territory! Good grief; they do very little aside from going to work, watching tv, visiting their doctor, barber, church, banker, and mechanic. It's as if their "imagination" has petrified like their testosterone level. TNC, yes, yes, chronologically we're "old." However, I'd bet most folks would guess us to be 10 (or so) years younger, just because we sure as hell don't act our age.

Maybe another way of saying this, is..I don't remember (ever) seeing my father doing HALF the stuff I do...at my current age.
