If a man is alone in the woods and there isn't a woke Hollywood around to call him racist, is he still white?

Buddhism addresses all of these inner problems of yours,your obvious need for inner peace is apparent in all that you post on here,you can then change your username to Zen in celebration of becoming a more "whole" person

I`ve had really bad eyesight since the age of 5.I dont know whether glasses affect my peripheral vision or not because I dont know any different.What I do know is they`re a pain in the arse in many,many ways and I nearly had laser treatment myself about 5 years ago.Thing is the literature all looked good,got as far as my Doc O.Kaying it but when the date got closer,and I`d paid a deposit,THEN they sent me a disclaimer and a list of potential side-effects a mile long.The chance of suffering any of them was pretty slim but who`s going to gamble with their eye-sight?There was a 1 in 200 chance of me getting D.V.T. on a long-haul flight but I was that 1 in 200 so no more gambling where my health is involved,if "odds" are mentioned anywhere and it possibly affects my health then I aint playing.

Bloke that cuts my hair is 68,looks at least 15 years younger.Still rides a 600 Bandit all over Europe on rallies,his favourite run is to Switzerland.Reckons he`s going to buy his last bike for his 70th birthday and is thinking about what to get being realistic about what to get that he`ll be able to ride for a few years after that.just seen a V-Max for sale in a mag,"68 year-old rider buying a smaller bike" and a book I was given about N.Z. bikers features a guy who`d ordered another Buell for his 80th birthday.I`ve been riding for nearly 30 years without ever having had a bike,cant see any reason why I`d want to,question of attitude really.Probably get a trail-bke next though purely because I`ve got very little self-control and more than pushed my luck with speed cameras lately.
gee wizzz
Dude the laser is a piece of piss. I had the old treatment -The knife and Ive had No problems other than a short term intollerence to cigarette smoke and temporarry starring of tailights whilst driving at night. -Actually I miss it -it looked to purdy.
keep in mind too that they do one eye at a time so yea its a 1 in 200 chance but I've never heard of anyone ever having worse eysight than before the op
The only bummer is once youve done it theres no going back . so I can't wear colored contacts

toadily mad
we intend to keep riding until it is no longer possible/ or pleasurable, we have other stuff we like to do also so we will just have to wait and see, one thing I have learnt throughout life thus far is you never know what is around the corner and it really doesn't pay to speculate too much about what might happen tomorrow.

I have thought about this in the past, as you do. My thinking would be if a bike is out, then it would have to be a trike, rerived from a bike. IF the old creaky body caint sling a leg over then a biker trike(V8?) that a wheel chair could be rolled up onto.

lol its not the riding thats the problem Celtic, its trying to squeez in to ya leathers & trying to borrow some that will fit....Given the fact that I have only just discovered riding as my new loveI think the only thing that would put temporary brakes on riding would be if I was pregnant (not that this is a plan anytime). I couldn't imagine being able to negotiate riding with a big belly & the risk of injury from binning wouldn't just be to me.
Can't think of anything else that would stop me
well i dont get to ride enough with the kids still young... the time has come for me to stop racing and when i have to give up completly for heath reasons..well im sure ill still b involved in someway, some things ya just never get outta ya system... lol hell the new relese in r/c bikes is cool...cant see me ever sellin the bandit though (no mattee what happens)
asked Mom if I was a gifted child ... she said they certainly wouldn't have paid for me.

gee wizzz
Bullshit YOU --you will be out there next month if I have to drag ya there screamin and kickin.

Bikes are only as dangerous as you make them,I never take chances,dosn`t mean you have to ride slowly or not have fun,just realise there`s a time and a place,always ride within your capabilities and always put safety first,I do 20,000+ K`s a year in all weathers,not come off since 1979 and that was learner driver doing something really,really brainless.If I thought I was a danger to myself because of age or infirmity then I`d jack it in.And yet you chose to ride a motorcycle? interesting..............
