4 Decades of Dave

[Edbear]

40 is the best time of your life - still young enough to stick it to the young fellas,and old enough to be smart about it.

Ah, 40! I remember it well!

Guess we like to think we're still young enough... Try playing your sons-in-law at Squash!

[Hitcher]

Wasn't it 30 years ago today Sergeant Pepper taught the band to play?

Or is that when I'm 64?

Maybe if I partied like it's 1999...

Congratulations Dave. The "brotherhood" of motorcyclist is the richer for your impulsive decision all those years ago, when my moustache was just 2...

[Big Dave]

Wasn't it 30 years ago today Sergeant Pepper taught the band to play?

It was twenty years ago today,
Sgt. Pepper taught the band to play
They've been going in and out of style
But they're guaranteed to raise a smile.
So may I introduce to you
The act you've known for all these years,
Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band.
We're Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band,
We hope you will enjoy the show,
We're Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band,
Sit back and let the evening go.
Sgt. Pepper's lonely, Sgt. Pepper's lonely,
Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band.
It's wonderful to be here,
It's certainly a thrill.
You're such a lovely audience,
We'd like to take you home with us,
We'd love to take you home.
I don't really want to stop the show,
But I thought that you might like to know,
That the singer's going to sing a song,
And he wants you all to sing along.
So let me introduce to you
The one and only Billy Shears
And Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band

We must spring from the same vintage Dave going by that 1978 pic. It's just that where you must have been mixing super glue and black shoe polish into your shampoo to retain your youth, I was too busy rolling herbal cigs for medicinal purposes only.
Closing in of the big FIVE - O is scary but not as scary as not making it!

My mate rode a CB450. We tore it's head apart in my Dad's basement, put it back together, and had a couple of washers left over. Bugger.

The torsion bar valve springy thingy had us most confused. Still we were stupid teenagers and didn't know any better. The closer I get the younger 50 seems.

Co-pilot says 'It's the new 30'.

I still don't know what i want to do when I grow up.

Aint that the truth!

While behind the safety of my internet connection, that top left pic looks like SkidMark. Hah!

Nice work gramps

No way!

Far out Dave, you look exactly like Affman!

P.S. Ulysess is calling ...

[Big Dave]

P.S. Ulysess is calling ...

Yeah - I might go and ride it now.

[Hitcher]

Ulysses. The club or the bike?

[Edbear]

Ulysses. The club or the bike?

Take my advice! Ride the bike!!!!


Notice my sig?

[oldrider]

I got my bike licence in October 1954, it doesn't seem to be that long ago really.

Three score years and ten, (70) That's the average lifespan for men!

After that they are all "bonus" years, if you make it!

Well I have got 3 more regular years to go, then I'm into the bonus years.

When that day comes I think I will celebrate it by buying one of those fancy "Ulysses" bikes, like you have got Dave.( I quite fancy the cut of their jib)

They look like a bike for the long hall and it would take me through till I get that letter from the Queen, then I will trade it in for the new model.

Can you get them with a slightly taller screen? Positively yours, John.

[Coyote]

You were a lanky bugger weren't ya

There's hope for me yet then

[Big Dave]

Can you get them with a slightly taller screen? Positively yours, John.

Nice work john.
A variety of larger screens are available.
My favourite bike ever - but they do have some quirks - they are very tall.
