How old is old? - Page 2

I am 62 presently but will turn 63 November 3. You are only as old as you feel. Heck, I don't feel a day over 90 most days.

I dress nicer too!!

He looks younger because of his oversized noggin. It's like an orange on a toothpick.

But I must admit, BD does look sharp dressed in his neatly pressed Garanimals.

Sure does CJ. The starch also helps him stand up straighter. ::)

All this talk of you are only as old as you feel. That depends upon the day. Somedays I feel real young, somedays I feel like I am ready to die. ;)

+1, I feel I'm 27 and I've managed to maintain that state of mind for years.

I agree that age is relative. Just about to pop 65 but to put a different slant on things, I've lived in 13 different countries not counting the US of A. Also visited 16 countries in Africa, not counting the two that I lived in.

OP... you were not the youngest. There was another that was in his twenties (cannot think of his name) that rode with us to the Badlands with his father.

For what it is worth... but somewhat on subject. My aunt (by marriage) just celebrated her 98th birthday by taking a motorcycle ride with her husband who is 79.

It was only a couple years ago they rode all the way (2-up) from Central Illinois to Phoenix, AZ.; and then back. (Kind-of have to laugh when thinking of those who rode to Custer that were complaining about how tired they were!!)

So... there remains hope for a long riding life ahead.

I'm far from the oldest, but far from the youngest too..

Ol' mac is a hick term, not really making me old..

Now i can't say this bike is older than me, but it is as old as my son and why he hates it

If you ask me it looks better than he does for 1981...

That was Jay, but he uses a different handle here that I don't remember.

I have shoes older than you, OP.

Jim, not according to your wife. Your mind wasn't the first thing to go, maybe second.
