Good breakdown...thank you...actually, probably shouldn't use the word 'breakdown' here...some of the more mature here might do that before their Spyders...

Speedin just one question, in your calculations did you use the stated age or did you decipher the fine print?

[Lamonster]

Guess I better add the big 50

I'm 58. Yesterday I went to Big Bear Lake, CA., for the 7th Annual Big Bear Chopper Run with a club I'm joining (American Cruisers). I saw 4 other Ryders up there, one was my neighbor.

There was about 5000 motorcycle riders there, mostly HD. I looked out on the crowd and noticed most were walking Fort Knox'es: silver in the hair, gold in the mouth, and lead in the ass.

Heck. Wild Hawgs people!

I wonder if that George Carlin age bit is a common thing and been around a while. I heard it before but from Mark Lowry. His version starts at the 1:30 mark in this clip.

[Oldmanzues]

I will up the average. I am almost 3/4 of a Century old. (73 6/12 )I also have a ST1100 Sport Tourer. I get the same coment on both. "I expected to see a younger man."
Mental age or acting age, Anybody understand negitive numbers ?

Hope to go to TN in Spetember and try Tail of The Dragon on Spyder.

A little of both...most were pretty easy read...a few needed deciphering. When in doubt, I omitted the entry altogether.

Ha!

Another 1950's kid--you DO understand!

Man, what is it about those cars?

When I was, maybe, four, my parents brought my big sister and I to the funeral and burial of one of their friends.

At the cemetery, they left my 10-year-old sister in charge of me in the car, while they walked to the gravesite.

After about two minutes, I had pressed the P, R, L, D, and R buttons at the same time on the dash. (If there was a 2 button, I know I pressed that one too.)

My sister had not noticed as she read her comic.

Needless to say, the car would not start.

Even at that young age, I remember trying to expain to my father the design flaw of being able to ask the car to be in all gears of the tranny at once...

Edit: Found this photo. Nope, no "Park" button but a lever, BUT now I remember that it had a complete word written on each button and I had not yet read my Dr. Seuss "Go, Dog, Go" book at the time of the, um, accident...

I'm not in that age category (thank goodness ), but I'll never forget my dad's 1964 Pontiac Catalina convertible...what a beautiful car...he got rid of it when I was pretty young, but to this day, I miss that car...it was such a fun ride...I know he misses it too...started to rust a bit on the bottom and he didn't want to take the time/spend the money to have it restored...

I don't remember my old man's '39 Lincoln Zephyr that he had when I was born, unfortunately. I do fondly remember his string of convertibles, though. A '53 Pontiac, '55 Buick, '57 Chevy, '62 Chevy, and a '66 Chevy. I love ragtops to this day, almost as much as I love my bikes, dragsters and hotrods. My wife's '63 Falcon convertible is a delight. Ah, 61 years of fond mechanical memories!
