There IS a second childhood

[clmintie]

Eureka...!! I’ve discovered there IS a second childhood..... Had to leave the first one behind when we had twins, mortgage etc, but I just had my 50th and bugger me, my family gave me a shiny new KDX200 (and a bright green cake.....). I’m off up to Woodhill tomorrow for the “Power” ride, can’t wait... So, if you see a greying, elderly gentleman lying on the ground, panting and sweating profusely, with “OLD FART” (thanks kids) on the front number plate, please ride carefully round him.....

I was at a mates for his daughter's birthday party yesterday and he mentioned that one of our old mates had received a new bike from his daughters for his 50th!! So if you are Phil, Welcome to KB, and have a great ride today - Weather should be perfect!!

PS
"Old Mates" = Mates from a "few" years ago, We're all kids at heart!!

Hi Leong, yes it is I, Phil. I’d heard you were having some fun with your track days. We must get together for a catch up...I even found the RC12i in the shed recently.....

I surprised myself at Woodhill today, straight back into it head wise, but the bodies got a bit of catching up to do. I rode three laps of the short track and four laps of the long track by 2pm, but the blisters got the better of me and I packed up early. The KDX is everything I hoped for, so easy to ride, really pleased with it. Tracks had a little of everything, even a bit of clay!
What really impressed me about the ride was how laid back the organisation was and huge number of female riders of all ages. If this is representative of your average modern trail ride, we’re onto a winner...........Thanks to Greg Power and his band of merry helpers. Very cool day...

Cool old fellah, keep enjoying!

Welcome aboard the site. Think of it not so much as a second childhood or mid-life crisis - more of just getting back to what you were doing before you were (rudely?) interupted by children/mortgages/whatever!

[Leong]

Glad you had a good day. Yes, we must catch up sometime. I've been meaning to go see a trail ride at some stage, so if you let me know next time you're out I'll come out for a look see!
