Well, I hope to last as long as my dad. He is 95 and still goes into work every day... Engineer... I'm not going to retire till my birth certificate expires...Aww, you're still a young whipper snapper.
Mark I forgot about the motorcycle racing I did back when I was 20. fortunately I've only had a couple of extremely minor wrecks on the bicycle. I rode motorcycles all my life and finally had an accident 3 years ago. My now wife was on the back. fortunately that was pretty minor although we both have scars and few lingering minor problems. The insurance paid more than it was worth and I knew my wife would never ride it and would worry every time I did so I haven't purchased another one. I sure do miss riding though. At 68 my reflexes aren't as good as they used to be and the drivers are a lot worse so it's probably a good thing I quit.
.... And I only had to lay my motorcycle down 3 or 4 times to finally get over bike fever. which reminds me of something...
"if at first you don't succeed, maybe parachuting isn't the sport for you."
Mark - Happy Birthday. I too feel like a youngster being only 61.
I'm with you and Odie, I'm 68 also..... so 1949 was a good year for us!I'm 68 so 1949 must have been a good year for Odie and I. I have good genes in my family so may make it into my 90's although I did a lot more wild activities than the rest of my family. Rockclimbing, Gymnastics, hiking and bicycling is all starting to take a toll on this bod. Still go the gym on a regular basis. One guy told me the other day that I was the youngest looking 68 year old he ever saw. Hope he's right.
Happy birthday!today is my 61st birthday
As my wife would say, butt height!Mark I used to joke that one day I was going to buy a sports car that you actually had to roll into because it would be so low and aerodynamic. Now I am much happier with a 4 wheel drive truck with lifts so I just sort of slide in without ever bending over.
Happy birthday!
Have a Happy One today, Mark! I still consider myself a "rookie" at 76+, but having a great "turning" time. Been at it for over 35 years and just spent 5 hours in the shop today. Hey, it's Christmas time and got lots of presents to turn. Just put a last coat on 2 pieces before midnight and tomorrow is another day. Have been an AAW member since February 1, 1992 and have attended a number of symposiums and will only quit when the bevel on my bowl gouge gets dull!!!

Still got my bike......but, it's becoming a classic fast! I'll bet I don't put 250 miles on it per year these days. John.....I know what you mean about the deteriorating reflexes. Age seems to be taking it's toll.....and, reflexes are something you need to ride.

Odie, that is one fine ride. If only I could have kept 'em on two wheels...
