    Default YOU'RE NEVER TOO OLD!

    Who'd have thought that at my advanced age of 72 I would fall in love again and start acting like the kid I still see myself as. Well, it happened last winter in Mexico when I met Via. When we met, she had never heard of a Spyder nor ridden on a motorcycle. Foolish girl that she is she decided to come back with me from Mexico and go on our 9,000 mile adventure to SpyderFest (see the whole journey on my webite under Seal Talk). That went so well that a couple of days ago I asked her to marry me. SHE SAID YES! The date and location are still to be determined, but I'll keep you all posted. Guess I'm really not to old!

    Ride in comfort,
    John

    That is just FANTASTIC!!

    Not all that far away from 70 myself, I LOVE hearing stories like this. And I can just picture the two of you riding away from the church on your Spyder, with a "Just Married" sign on the trunk, dragging a string of tin cans behind you.

    Cool

    As a 72 year old and single myself, all I can say is and there might be hope for me yet.
    Take Care,

    Cool Age vs Getting Old

    John


    They say " you can't keep a good man down!" I'm 73 and have developed the attitude that your only as old as you feel. Gopher it! Disregard the naysayers and go for the gold ring .

    Default Do it again, and thank her!!

    Not sure about any age difference between you, so I can't call you a Dirty Old Man.
    Anyway, we all hope she can teach an old dog a few new tricks... ;-)

    I can't wait till the day you write us, exclaiming that you "Nailed It!"

    Your marriage licence on the wall, I mean... Hahaha

    Congrats to you both.

    Best wishes to both of you. Now you have a mate to help you remember to bring your "Seal Boards" sign to the next Spyderfest

    My bride, Pat, and I will be married 59 years on the 14th.
