    I remember fighting for the leg bone of the Sunday roast. Hang on! I still have to fight for it.
    My advice is: not to follow my advice.

    I share your passion for bikes. I started riding road bikes when I was 16. Used to ride my 500 Triumph to school and back on my last year. Since then ..... so many bikes. Sold my last one, a 1500 Honda Valkyrie, a couple of years ago when I felt I'd "lost my edge". You'll know what I mean. 62 now and still love them, and still work on friends bikes occasionally. Got more involved in my 4WD as an alternative/replacement. Enjoy it, but it's not the same. Miss that unique feel of freedom that only bikers understand.

    same vintage I sold my bike when my first son was born.
    The wife just asked me the other day if I missed the bikes.
    In a heart beat I answered you betcha. two things I could do well
    run fast and ride a road bike. Ive raced on most tracks in Vic.
    even the old Hume weir track, Calder was just around the corner
    so easy to slip in a few laps, I rode with the Vigilante MCC for about
    6 years, Ive even swung off a sidecar now thats fun lol lol
