Happy Birthday Steve.
53. I remember when I was 53.
I had a friend who would joke about getting older. He would say that's a dyslexic 35.
It doesn't do any good to say that when you're 66 though.
Hope you got some nice Bimota seat time on your birthday.

Happy Birthday old bean!!
50's.... I feel jealous.. but still remember them. If you're (sort of) healthy then age is a state of mind as they say! Still feel 30ish in my head but not when I wake up and am stiff for all the wrong reasons (and wrong bits!).
Now Bimota-less but have loved and you never know may love again? _________________ Not as many bikes as I would like and already too many to keep up with! |

Birthy Hap-Day, Steve!!!
Funny, I was going to compliment you on your lil' cottage...It's cute.....I was thinking, "Yeah, someone has to live there...LOL!!!
53 eh? Starting now, the pegs start getting a little higher, the bars a little lower and the ground a little harder and farther away....LOL!!!
And, good luck with that "Bimota" thing.....
Cheers,

Cheers all...…"Lil Ol cottage"??...didn't get it at first.....the little mock French chateau place...yeh...Disney castle I suppose.....did look at buying a flat in there once....garage space wasn't up to scratch though....and the driveway from the garage block way way away in the back to the asphalt drive and exit...was all in loose stone gravel....hardly motorbike friendly....and no power in the garage block either....Trickle chargers for bike batteries...Nope....
Bars further....pegs higher..ground further away.....Add to that Hips cracking.....back end of bike seemingly higher each time you crank a leg over...etc etc....all becoming more aware of each time....
Thanks all anyhow...to another year |
