    You know cuz, as cynical as you are I still reckon if that were really true you'd never throw a leg over a motorbike in the first place.

    Interesting article that rings pretty true.
    Low boredom threshhold = check
    Family that rides = check
    Impulsive = check
    Stupid = check (oh wait, that wasn't in the article)

    Sometime you have to use a stick to prod life a little bit and get it to jump up and bite you, just to keep things interesting.............all the while being pesimistic enough to know that when it does bite you, its gonna hurt like hell. Just gotta be ready for it.

    Interesting article.
    Older brother won't like that. His kids know their mother used to ride, but apparently they don't (and aren't going to) know he used to ride too.... let alone that he rode an RG500 in a somewhat reckless manner. He refuses to even think about getting back into it because he knows what he was like and doesn't want his kids to ever get interested in it. He probably isn't that happy that the rest of us ride now.

    Gotta feel sorry for Mum. She's had fair cause to worry about us all over the years..... But we're all still standing... so far.

    Maybe it skips a generation, because neither Mum or Dad are remotely interested in Motorbikes.... although I guess Dad is just a wee bit obsessed with his mountain biking.... Just a little.....

    Obsessed?!?!? That's putting it lightly.

    And yeah, his kids will find out. They always end up finding out, and it will come back to haunt him.
