57 years, that's longer than some marriages last.

The man was quite an innovator. What an inspiration.

Thanks for posting.

Nice try, Gerhed. But you're wearing a bit too much clothing compared to the original.

whne people look at the pic of me, sitting on a horse, with a kilt on, bet they say "he's different isnt he?"

HavocTurbo · « **Reply #15 on:** November 06, 2008, 10:56:37 PM »

I think either crazy or brave would be the word I'd use...

I've been riding horses most of my life and going crotchless with a kilt on would just about top my all time "different" list......

fuzzybutt · « **Reply #16 on:** November 06, 2008, 11:02:47 PM »

like this? i'm fortunate that i had a really nice, high quality dressage saddle so it was nice and soft on "the boys"

HavocTurbo · « **Reply #17 on:** November 06, 2008, 11:04:22 PM »

Brave it is then brother b/c I'm a chicken!!!

STOP IT! you're killing that poor horse not to mention the poor animal coming into contact with your nasty bits Fuzzy!

Yep Burt Munro, done more to improve the image of New Zealand than all the fat cats out here and he still didn't get knighted!
Let's hear it for "Sir Burt".

Stormer · « **Reply #19 on:** November 12, 2008, 04:53:36 PM »

+1 who love him.
His best lesson: you are as old as you want to be. And don't let other people tell you something different.
Go Bart, you're the man!
