As a biker (yes an old one now) I came across this so I though you might like a laugh!!

Well I never looked like that on a bike we used to call the bugs protein and better if you had a beard as it doubled the catchment area. Now the next question will show I an getting old that is asking about the bike instead of whats sitting on it is that an old beamish Suzuki?

Had to hang my leathers up in 2012 needed to sell the bike and my truck in order to get over to see my old Mum in Australia who had been diagnosed with cancer it was good to get some quality time with her and apart from the sad news it was a great trip manged to see a few sites in China on the way and managed a road trip in California on the way back, Must admit I miss my bikes have had many European road trips well into double figures where I ended up on point most of the time met many friends who I still see now and again.View attachment 31316

Love it, any yes my leathers don't fit any more either. My Belstaff is in the loft, I often think it may get used for fancy dress by my kids or grand kids one day..

Can only hope as I'm never going to get on a bike for a long time.

Proteins good right ? :)

Luckily my leathers still fit, just, but I suspect I'll need to actually start exercising a bit now to keep it that way. Missed the bike this year, other items have gotten in the way both, literally in the sense that the bike is currently blocked in by my old lathe that I must get around to selling.

Looking forward to getting out again next season that, nothing quite like blasting around the passes the lakes in the wee hours before the tourists wake up and fill the roads with mobile chicanes
