How Old?

Post by **celticus** » Fri Apr 20, 2007 7:21 pm

It was a very nice day and I had some time after work today. I took my New R1200R with 1500 miles out for a smallish ride around the hilly back roads here in East Tennessee. I guess I just not been as generous with the throttle as I was today and found the front end lofting fairly easily and quite pleasingly. I had known it would do this but I suppose I had been spareing on the amount of throttle I gave it.
I am in my early 50s and I had a poo load of fun playing around on the bike today. At what age do you suppose does a person quit getting a kick out of doing wheelies?

Apparently some of us just reach a certain level of maturity and wisdom earlier than others.

"It isn't 65!"

I'm glad to hear that.

I have decided not to participate in the "aging" thing. I have entirely too much stuff to do and fun to have!
