Grumpy old bastards, I salute you all, but enough of the rose tinted flying goggles.

Maybe try cleaning those old oil covered flying goggles,its a whole new world.or maybe not.

Well, as much as I can see how the old school lads don't appreciate the pups trying to tell them how it is, I can't say I can agree with the rest of the rubbish.

If you can't relate to the current generation its because your old, sorry, that's the truth, Your a few generations removed from any new riders hitting the road and there is a distance there because of it. thats no reason for youngsters to disrespect you but it goes both ways.

Bikes have always attracted a certain amount of tossers, There has always been fair-weather riders, and people into the image rather then the riding. and there will always be people doing activities you enjoy who happen to hold their own views and attitudes, Deal with it.

I don't see the youngsters complaining because the old dogs won't play the game by their rules, More likely they are out riding their own road.

The DO complain big time, it's part of being all-knowing yoof.

Young ones are ok by me - it's just the constant 'you guys don't know..' and 'you guys don't understand..' and WTF do YOU know about...??? that are tiring.

It's a fact of life that yung'uns think what they know is all that there is to know in life - and act surprised when an older person knows it already...'

Some guys my age still believe modern motorcycling suffers from a disease,there is they believe in the modern expression of the machine a tragic lack of an ingrediant which gave early painters of our canvas a rich understanding of motorcyclings roots,that unique ability to combine the need for transport with an expression of the joys of the pioneer spirit,they firmly believe that engineers/designers of modern day have succesfully removed the game of chance,no more torpedo of unreliability to sink our ship.Any youngster who dares cross there path on something that looks good/goes well and gets them to there destination on time deserves all the scorn poured upon them.

I meant within the context of this thread/discussion, And I personally can forgive the youngsters for being dipshits. But your point is noted.

Though for all I know I have been cast aside as an ignorant youth whose over-stepping the mark and doesn't understand real motorcycling., Whats the cut off point?

There's no cutoff point.
Attitude has nothing to do with age. Although generally, fecklessness and recklessness are more often associated with callow youths, though not exclusively.
