    Hence why I don't have any kids

    I've given up my extensive social life (aka: drinking), as well as collecting shoes & handbags to got to Uni so I can have the career I want. Mind you I got my bike after I started Uni and that I'll never give up now!
    My goal in life is to be as good a person as my dog already thinks I am.

    We gave up bikes to have kids (3).

    Now that we have only one at home, we are back on our bikes.
    Then the kids have kids - called grandchildren. Do we give up our bikes? Hell, no. Mix the two. Went shopping for bike gear the other day. Took our 20 month old grandson along. He called every bike in the shop a m'bike. He put his sticky little fingers on all the shiney bits such as mufflers and mirrors. He put his fat little cherub fingers in the exhaust pipes, saying "hot" because that is what he is familiar with. Hot mufflers that is.

    By the way, life does get "hot" again, after babies.

    And the answer is 40, the magic age to join Ulysses!

    At some stage I'm going to have to give up buying boots to continue feeding my motorbiking habit - and when do I really get the opportunity to wear these boots? - I'm either working, or riding round the country, and it's just so hard trying to fit boots into a backpack with all the other necessities like clothes and stuff.
