The bike is the very reason I tend to take care of myself so I can fit in to my size 40 power ranger suit at 42 years of age. Although the white power ranger outfit I bought was taking it a little far. I did europe on the 848 last year and I have to say not one ache or pain in sight. I know its coming at some stage but Im fighting it. As for moving off sports bikes for the harley brigade, that day will never come. Ever ever ever.
As a youngster I was thin. I mean really, embarrassingly, skeletally, emaciated. It has taken me many years to flesh my bones and put on even a fairly modest belly, which I am proud of and intend to keep. I just know that if and when I get too old, I shall waste away. Not everybody is worried about getting "fat".
Damn you Pete1950, Damn you!! Mr C, what is this thing you speak of? Char... get enough drink down your throat and I can look as young as you want! :biggrin:
