too slow mr toad... Idle banter post has been going all morning about it :wink:

[BillyC]

Trouble is, that the Idle Banter section is now so full of crap, you can't see intelligent posts about subjects like this - which really are for Biking Issues!

Ian... as a mod :lol: can you go and remove that rediculous list of stickies in IB, so that we don't have to scroll half way down the forum to view new posts!

Oh dear, I seem to have deviated from Biking Issue, to Idle Rant, better move my post ;)

Cheers Mark.

I love that article... a picture of a BMW R1100 with "an emphasis on speed, power and the right looks" as the caption, and that brilliant photo of Charley Boorman looking like a zombie... Quality.

I am old (49) but not reborn. I never had any type of 2 wheel
powered vehicle nor any type of license for such a vehicle until 2
years ago. Don't know what is worse, to be reborn at 47 or to be
born at 47.

Somehow journalists writing on the subject don't acknowledge the
existence of my category of biker.

[adamfool]

i'm far too young to be a reborn biker.... :lol:

Have to agree.
Don't mind a bit but thats rippin' the rse out of it.

Thought this thread was good though (on IB).

Yup - reborn at 51 - eighteen months ago after over 20 years without touching a bike...

I agree it's all about attitude and personally am a bit more sensible than I was in my 20s partly because I have dependants and partly cos i've got older...

Also reasonably aware that I'm not as fit or quick in my recations as I was then and since my return to bikes have to tried to build up my skills and speeds quite gradually.

There are some 20 years old nutters who shouldn't be on bikes and some 50 year old ones... same as with cars but generally with bikes I think most riders become aware of their vumerability and ride accordingly. I have no doubt getting back to a bike has gretly improved my car driving.

'coughs' now who could you possibly mean by that? :wink:
