That's not too surprising. I just have to hold my tongue around my older son.

But then he and his brother get to teasing me about being old and fat, so, I have to tell them that not all young males get to be old and fat and to consider themselves lucky if they do.

That’s the face I make when I know I’m about to get my arse handed to me by 50/125 cc motorcycles.

Honestly it was a VERY nice ride through some beautiful country. The lazy pace was perfect.

Never happens that I’m the “big” bike in the crowd.

Had plenty of time to think about OB1…….aka Robert. (RIP)

It would have been a hoot to have followed him.

65 mph with 60cc? I could do that on my first Yamaha in 1970.
