I remember Bronson.  You can see it on youtube.  Memories...I think if I was 20 again I would buy a brand new KO.  At that time I think I was on a CB450 having started with a 65 Sport, then a CL175.  My new 750 did not come until 1977.

You've got to watch your back in the SSDB, this is where the clever guys get bored with bike talk and make poo jokes.
I like my women a little big. Natural. Now, they shave this and wax that. It's not right. I love natural women. Big women. This trend in women has to go. Bulomia, anorexia. That's just wrong. You know what will cure that? My special sticky buns. One lick of my sticky buns and your appetite will come right back. ~ RIP Mr. Borgnine  01/24/1917 - 07/08/2012  :'(

Shaved head for 5 months at 20, check.

I started riding at 20, I then stupidly let my passion fade in and out until last year.

Travelling without a destination would definitely be cool, with a time machine, I'd go back and tell myself a thing or two about that.

shaved head....check, that was the barber at basic training

If I changed too many things I may not be with the woman I am now and have been since before I was 20.
In that case I wouldn't change anything.....except maybe laugh more, oh and I would have spent more nights watching my children sleep......

when i was 20 i was working at europroducts.net selling porsche bmw and volkswagen performance parts, after playing in traffic in my souped up rabbit with my boss in his porsche, I was asked if wanted to drive for his small classic porsche racing team. driving a 1970 917. something like this


thanks to my lack of self confidence i declined.

If I could go back, I would've accepted the invitation. I might probably be living an entirely different life now. or at least had a good time.

Me, remustered to weapons systems or got the airforce to pay for me going to university or gone to Australia and joined their airforce in a sneaky scheme to get around the world by doing different airforces usually by transferring orderly room to orderly room between nations.

That's what I was thinking! Is everyone starting to go bald now, and just wishes they'd started shaving earlier so it wouldn't be as obvious now?
