this must be true

my wife says I have the mental age of a 12 year old

unkind bmw riders have also accused me of riding like an 18yr old

[merv]

Sounds like a compliment Mark I know how quick I was at that age.

Nice link Eddie, I feel totally justified in getting back into bikes now!

[Crisis management]

I dunno about this, I reckon bike riding is more likely to age me prematurely.

In the last 3 months I've had two cracked ribs, a huge number of gorse prickles stuffed into various places, three bloody sore fingers (strains and bruising) almost lost an eye to a tree branch, extensive bruising to all limbs, tweaked my neck a couple of times and done my left knee over twice. I'm still limping around from the last minor altercation with the ground, the brusing is fading and the scabs have almost fallen off.

And don't get me started about the cost of bike parts, that in itself is enough to send me grey (if I wasn't already).


Mind you, I do enjoy the mayhem.....

And if you go on a ride you've got even more chances of injuring yourself!

Good, a brother in arms, you've had vaccumm cleaner accidents too.....

at 18 there was no connection at all between brain and throttle hand

I would like to think that some tenuous connection has grown between the two in the intervening years

Thats why trail riders become adventure riders

If you keep going out riding with your spawn I reckon that connection is never gonna get better than tenuous mate!

Now stop that or people will be thinking adventure riders are boring, wimpy old farts! That's not gonna attract busty brunette waitresses is it?!!!! (ok so I'm still a bit wimpy but I'm workin on it for the sake of the waitress ya know! )

which gets us to the even more tenuous connection between the brain and the pecker

I thought that was a fairly solid connection through the hand, especially when you were young.

Yep when I'm in Toppys the connection from brain to pecker is unfortunately solid, which is why I sit down and don't walk about too much!

Fantastic piece of research Eddie - here I was contemplating a weekend of 'domesitc bliss' (read home maintenance) having been away all last weekend on the RRRR - now this authoratative piece of research - not by KTM, BMW, Kawasaki (KLR) or Suzuki (DR) but unbiased Yamaha confirms my own thesis that motorcycling is a 'vital' experience of the senses - so perhaps I'll sneak in a ride with some of you young bucks this weekend - incidentally Junkmanjoe has taken to refering to me as 'dad' out of deference to my advanced years
