Default Still think your a young pup?

I was just reading Plowsies thread about TL1000's in another area.

I mentioned that I have no idea how it feels to ride a restricted bike compared to it's unrestriced counterpart because I did DAS because I was old enough, then I realised I did my test in October 2003... that's 4 and half years ago...

OH MY GOD...

I'm not old, only 29, but I keep forgetting. How did it get that long ago???

Anyone else have these 'senior' moments and suddenly realise that they are not 18 anymore?

It's only a number. If you weren't counting you wouldn't feel any different and wouldn't get worked up about it.

Now excuse me whilst I contemplate my mortality and begin to freak out at being just past halfway to 50.

Tell me about it! Then you realise you not thirty anymore, then forty... Still behave like a big kid though, so all good! My daughter is 24 this year and my boy 21!!! How did that happen? If you let it get to you, you feel old PDQ.

My solution is to hang about with you youngsters and tell you stories about the war....

Ha haa. No probs.
Not hung up about it, just a realisation moment.

My philosophy:

Grow old.. NOT UP!!!

When I was in bed with a 21 yr old last year, and she mentioned she was born in 1986. I was a workshop manager then, earning huge bucks with my own house and driving a BMW.

I'm only 5, that why I like running about with nothin' on. I did my test back in 99 or something, though I'd been riding 125's and 50's for 3 years.

I was in bed with a 21 year old in 1986 as well, so I'd have to say all of it.
