Still riding at 85 :-)

Took a ride out to North Wales and was greeted by this guy. When I asked what he used to ride, he replied “Still riding at 85!!” He rides a Norton and his first bike was a BSA during the second world war! Respect!!

There’s a fella that fishes where we take the kids fishing. He’s 106yrs old!:cool: I got to speak with him last weekend as had caught one as we walked back to the car. He was calling for assistance so I asked if he wanted his landing net? ‘Yes’ he replied. Do you want me to net it for you? ‘Yes’. ‘Would you take the hook out?’ he asked… Whilst I was happy to oblige, I did ask myself ‘just how much of the fishing is this old man actually doing?’ :smiley:

Please God I’m still doing the people I like to do at their ages!:w00t:

Me and my nephew are in the house tonight. (BIG SHOUT out to my nephew please LBers)

Ladies and Gents I introduce you to my nephew Little Bother. Say hello Little Bother…

Anyway back on the subject. Should old people be allowed to ride bike at a certain age?

I think Not only because my old pops of whom has a centary to his name (I mean his age not cricket score) is a bloody pain when he comes out riding with us. We have to stop every few miles to change his nappy.
