-68th B.D. was last August & I never thought a nanosecond about what age it would be when I stop riding. Maybe it will be something like this:
I was once a gangly youth out trick-or-treating with my bro's and sisters when at one stop, the lady at the door looked at me very critically and said, "Aren't you a bit old to be out doing this?" I looked around and noticed those next to me and them a-coming my way were way shorter, smaller, considerably more youthful in stature & demeanor. I slumped home right after that, never to return with a brown paper shopping bag at a stranger's doorstep.
Maybe someday I'll get a ticket and the cop will say the same. Maybe then I'll actually feel kinda proud instead of humiliated like in the first instance. Maybe time for a dirtbike then . . . ?
