Idle Banter For non SV and non bike related chat (and the odd bit of humour - but if any post isn't suitable it'll get deleted real quick).
There's also a "U" rating so please respect this. Newbies can also say "hello" here too.

Going bald.
Get referred to as one of "the older generation" at work.
Memory like a sieve.

I also love how I just randomly remember things which I'd forgotten. Like the fact that the barmaid in the place we stayed in Durham a couple of weeks ago was one of the finalists in last years X-Factor.

When your kids ask you about "The olden days"

when you try to play with the grand kids and realise you haven't got the energy or ability

The best one ( sorry to rub it in to the younger generation ) is the Suzuki Fuel Allowance. They actually give you money to keep your bike on the road over winter - except Mrs pX discovered that if she also applied for it I would only get half. Where's the fairness in that!
So I make a nuisance of myself around the house & she slips me the odd fiver to get out of her way.
