Lots of old people here. I think I just tripped over a walker...... ;D

I know all about that mate, I just ran over a jogger on my way back from the pub! If the cops ask, I was here all the time, kapeesh? ;D

Terry, What about that tree you ran into while golfing with yer friends ? :o Yea, we got your number !   >:(

                           

Ha ha, "Not guilty your honour"! I hate golf, golf carts would be cool if they had decent engines in them, but the thought of wandering aimlessly around a paddock whacking a little white ball is about as exciting as filling in my tax return............ ;D

Hmmnnn, I just had a thought, what about high powered golf cart racing? You know, install a big 4 cylinder motorcycle engine in a golf cart, and race it, like those riding mower guys do? Now that'd be a good use for a golf course! ;D
I was feeling sorry for myself because I couldn't afford new bike boots, until I met a man with no legs.

So I said, "Hey mate, you haven't got any bike boots you don't need, do you?"

                   HEY !  I RESEMBLE THAT REMARK !!   :o   ::)    At least i'm not a one percenter !!    ;)  ;D ;D

I clicked where I was supposed to but now wondering why more jokers didn't click "71 or less"...

 :-X



It is here's how equalities work -infinity<X<infinity. So 71< is older than 71, which actually means if you are in fact 71 you can't vote in this pole lol..... I should fix that by changing it to 71<.

25 here.

How you been, Mickey.  Bummer we never got to meet up a second time.  I sprung a couple leaks from the neutral switch and caliper (!), and put the bike away until I got back to my shop in MT.  Oh well.

Barber? What's that?  Been shaving my head for 20 years.

Hey you're ahead of your time mate, shaved heads are a new(ish) fashion trend here, and I tell everyone that the shaved head is the new mullett! Cheers, Terry. ;D

I was ahead of my time 20 years ago too.  Most people did not know the real reason why I did it.

Lice?

Surprising how typical a bell curve this is. The slight exception being the 51-60 bracket, but that could easily be attributed to the vintage of the machines in question.
