    How to tell when you are an Old Bugger

    Going to Sun City Rally in Gisborne this weekend. Booked a Motel next to main gate at Rally! God I'm getting old. Be cool tho eh?

    Any one got any more examples as I suspect there are a few more Old Buggers here.

    Have started hearing myself say.....When I was young! SAD

    When you talk about bikes that you learnt to ride on, and you have to explain what they were.

    Ahhh, the joys of being young triumph again "ducks flying tomatoes from angry geriatrics" Lol

    For the ashes of his fathers
    And the temples of his Gods

    When you get off the Blackbird with all the aftermarket stuff on it (double bubble, radar detector and other stuff), pull your helmet off and reveal a 57 year old as opposed to the 20-something age they were expecting . The surprise is a joy to behold!

    Krusti - do you ever go to the Okoroire pub? My wife and I sometimes nip over for a ride and a bit of tea on a weekday.

    Hello Krusti, didn't know about the suncity rally, who is it hosted by and where is it going?, we live in Gisborne but nobody tells us anything.
    As for being old well at least you aren't senile yet!

    When an 'old' photo of yourself gives the lie to what the mirror is saying
    Do you realise how many holes there could be if people would just take the time to take the dirt out of them?

    When it dawns on you that all the crap your Dad used to spout was actually right ,and when you try to tell a teenger the same stuff to save them from all the hassles you`ve caused yourself in life and they look at you the same way you looked at the old fella.

    As always: "When the cops start looking young"

    Being stopped and breath tested by a guy who's held his licence for less than a quarter of the time you have and is barely old enough to drink on licenced premises himself...
