    Your avatar and need for power over experience has me reeeaaallllly hoping that one day you too can be called an old fart.
    The reason there are old farts are that we have a bit of road sense and education through experience.

    a zx9 rear wheel steers like a XR600 in the gravel.

    Ahh to be old and fulfil the stereotype for bitching at "inexperienced, reckless youth"

    I've seen many an 'ol fart clean out youth in speed and stamina, it gives me something to look forward to when I'm an 'ol fart too.

    If only I could fulfill the stereotype and listen to new music, but alas it just drives me insane with the sheer stupidity of it. It's classic rock, and classical music for me. Needless to say the girls aren't too happy if I put on my ipod at a party

    But at the end of a hard night nothing's better than singing along with a few drunken mates to a good portion of Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon.

    .... a prerequisite for any person of age, to have gained any wisdom from this life, is to have been young and stupid as a youth, and survived...espousing ones wisdom is generally a sign one has not quite got there yet...but baiting young people is sometimes fun...

    I think I was 20 when I got my first road bike, got a brand new R6 sold it the next year and got a GSXR1000 cause it was too slow. Ended up going back to MX for 6 years because it was boring riding bymyself on the road...

    Then I found road racing!!! Dont wait till your too old like I did, flag riding proper bikes on the road and bring them to the track

    I'm just amazed you can still kick it over ... let alone ride it ... Congratulations on still having enough weight on that 106-year-old body ...

    How big's your right leg?
