yeah. hard pass. last time I was on a bike was in 76 at FT. Campbell. borrowed my buddies bike to get something off post. then had some half drunk asshole turn left in front of me. I laid down the bike . destroyed my new Levi's jacket. lost about 2-3 pounds of meat on highway 41 and ripped a nice pair of jeans. paid for the repair on the bike. and had a good month or more of road rash pain after it. passed 70 now and have no need or want for that kind of pain again !
Well if I was 20 again, I can see myself destroying my left knee and right shoulder to finish things off at 68 years old, kinda hurts just to watch!!

ReplyDeleteYeah, but to be young and stupid enough to do it...
DeleteDoc, that shit really hurt. once was more than enough for me. never tried a bike again after that.
