Congrats and keep on keeping on!

You make me feel young - only 43 years with a licence (and a few without one ...)

That's either me or Akzle ...

You're a fuckwit ..

She's definitely right

Not so much on bikes any more but there are plenty of other occasions when I (apparently) fail to act like an adult

My kids address me as "hey Old Man"

Adding it up, 49 years, since I first got my

Honda 50!

My first gravel rash

Indestructible riding in shorts and flip flops) ( in order to become old and wise! you first have to be young and Stupid!)

My first root.( with my honda 50 in attendance)

My first car (a Morris 8) I wheeled my Honda 50 over the mud guard! , another storey:

My first Job. ( Attended on my Honda 50)

My first run away from home.(on my honda 50)

My first experience of the meanness of people! ( Hells angels chased me on my bike and thumped me) Would like to meet the fuckers now!

My first arrest. ( honda 50 taken off me by the police )

My first time drunk.(Police parked my Honda 50, took my keys and took me home, NO NO NO NO NO)

My first Coffee. ( the night before was enlightening) and (head ache causing, I never knew she was engaged & she did not tell me)

My first job: (Did I mention that?)
( Maurice Cleland! I am ever so grateful)

Fooking Honda 50! what a piece of shizer!

( I loaded it up with methanol and 130 Octane av gas with a bit of castrol R) and I dropped a wheelie, and smoked the back tyre of (Little smoke, but smoke it was) a mighty fookin honda 50! ( it burnt out the Tiny exhaust header pipe)

Thanks, not quite your 50 years, but without your input, it would never have bought this shizer to the fore of the Grey matter!
