How do you know when you've become an Old Fart?

[MaxPete]

Two useful thoughts:

1) Growing old is mandatory, growing up is optional.

2) The boys don’t stop playing ‘cause they get old. They get old ‘cause they stop playing.

mmm.. just ride a bike with racing drop bars and rear sets for the first time in yrs .. your body will tell you your a old fart

Boy and Howdy! Rode an R6 for 20 miles. I was deaf(er) and crippled for days.

And speaking of second childhoods (or really, REALLY long first ones... ) I love the looks I get when I climb off the FJ and take my helmet off. Almost as much as the looks I get when I eat some Mustang's lunch in the stoplight-to-stoplight Gran Prix...

Ain't that the truth! After 15 miles on the 1125R seems like I've been riding all day.

Amen to that,only rode one a single time and wondered how (and why ) anyone rides these.

As some of you may recall, I’m also a member of the ST Owners forum and I was just over there and found a new thread entitled: “Have you ever wondered?” and it’s basically about becoming an old f@rt.

This video just popped up on the thread and I thought you folks would get a bang out of it.

This morning after workout with Yogalaties, I go back down to the kitchen to make my protein drink. Turn on the faucet to mix up my protein powder with some liquid. You all are aware that running water initiates wanting to go and take a pee.

So I walk out of the kitchen, through the living room, through the bedroom and into the closet. I stand there thinking... what do I need to get out of the closet?

 

[Paul Sutton]

You know you're an old fart when you actually pee in the closest.

Hi Paul,
that or be stoned. Remember "Up in smoke"? Although Cheech didn't pee in the closet, he used the laundry hamper.

Cheech & Chong were brilliant.

I remember being stoned and listening to C & C and Billy Connolly back in 74

I remember being stoned in 74. Not much beyond that though....

Yes indeedy, the 70's really were a bit of a blur for many of us....

....but don't tell our grandchildren!

 

[Beags64]

My ol' lady always says if you can remember the 70's you weren't really there.

 

[azman857]

I remember the late 60's and the 70's...I didn't start drinkin' until the 80's....HA HA HA!
