You know your getting old when: 1-You only ride on Sunday when everyone's in church. 2-Your bikes three years old with 200 miles on the odometer and 30 layers of wax on the tank. 3-The first time you become brave enough to ride during the week, you are awakened by a school crossing guard after dozing off waiting for a left turn at a traffic light. 4-You are afraid to ride your bike the 150 feet up your graveled driveway to the garage. 5-You get laughed out of the motorcycle dealership when you finally take your bike in for service. Undaunted you try again the next day wearing different clothes, knowing you must have been dressed funny to have them laugh like that yesterday. They laugh at you again, and just before you leave, a salesman stops laughing just long enough to tell you, they can't work on a KLR, at a BMW dealership. 6-After your experience at the BMW dealership you decide to service your own bike. You realize the modern bikes are junk after stripping half the bolts on the bike. Your wife hears you swearing, so she comes out to see if the bikes fallen on you again. You explain the problem to her and you show her the manual you have been following. You point to the torque tables telling her they are all wrong. She puts on her reading glasses [which you need but are to vain to wear] and then asks if in. pounds are the same as ft. pounds. You tell her to go away and later that day buy your first pair of reading glasses. And the list goes on daily............ Dennis Angus A-11 A really shiny one.
