How old/young are you (to all)?

referring to the original topic:

I'll add my own age:

I'm 12

my bday:

August 4th

Cheers!

 

Sheeez! I can't even remember when I was 12 or if I ever was,LOL. (come to think of it, my wife says that's a little older than where I'm at mentally right now)

BTW, it took a 12 year old to get the thread back on topic, what's that say about the rest of us? LOL ;>)

Cheers yugioh2me!

 

Ahh 12 years old, If only I could go back and start from there again. I think thats when all my problems began. Women. Happy birthday!! Stay in School, Get a good education and then you can get a great job or maybe be your own boss. Stay out of trouble!

Prisoner, my little brother has an Electra Glide Standard that he has put the big bore kit and cams in. When we go on our rides, we often switch bikes. It is very enjoyable and relaxing to motor along as he zips off over the horizon on my Suzuki.

For me, getting the front tire to push or slide is usually a matter of just being leaned over with the back stepping out nicely just a bit and then chopping the throttle. Not really a great idea, but it happens when I get cut off or freeze because I'm getting in way to hot.

It is interesting Pulsar that you mention a boat like that and water skiing. I think about the closest way to describe going around a corner fast on a bike is to get a few good cuts in on a ski.

 

Frank,

that's wild you said that, when you were talking about it on your bike,I actually started to compare it to snow skiing, when you get in a groove and everything becomes 100% quiet, no noise whatsoever, like you are deaf or the world is on mute.

It's just you and the mountain and you are cutting so great, the feet, knees, shoulders are all working together and actually floating on a thin cushion of air. It only lasts a few moments and then you're back to reality again.

But it's a great buzz, no matter how brief!

 

 ... Youth is being served ... Wow! .. I have a granddaughter who's 10 already ...

 

I'm 18 at this very moment in time

 

Ah yes, snow skiing, I can highly recommend Mont Blanc. You can get up to some horrendous speeds & difficulty on a pair of skis!

 

pulsar,

I have skied for about 33 years, all over the US and some stints in British Columbia. Lived in Colorado for six years and while being an instructor out there I did a lot of mountain pass, snow cat, and helicopter skiing.

There is enough skiing in Colorado and Utah alone to last a lifetime. We used to ski at night in the passes under full moons. It was so bright because of the altitude(14,000 feet) it was like skiing in the daytime. We would spend the nites in snow caves built by ski patrol, get up the next morning and start all over.

I'm sure gonna miss it, but I've got a lot of good pictures and memories that will last the rest of my life.

 

i'm 43 and heavy into bikes both motor and non motored
have a wife and to kids and own enough computers and parts to make compusa jealous...

 

Well I'm 39 now. Its 01.45 23rd November.
Oh BUGGER!!!

 

UK that is!

 

So Prisoner - Nice bikes, but what about KAR 120C ? Isn't that part of the collection???

 

I am still in the progress of building that Kar. I would like to take that around Europe, but in North america I would rather be seen in a Pickup truck. Useful and can kill small cars. Seems like a problem here, small cars just die. But the Mini is making a good hit here.

Well back to topic, The old age is setting in. I have already made a lists to back on track at work. Feel really distracted with all the courses.

 

be seeing you <wink>

 

Hey,I'm 17 (turning 18 nov 30th) and i'd ust like to point out how cool it is that the internet and forums like this allow for people in such a large range of ages to all be talking about and learning the same things and i have been using these forums for quite a while as a guest and they have been soo helpful, so i bit the bullet today and now i'm an official member

 

Much agreed. I love this place and its potential. I have meet people from acrossed the pond and learned quite a bit.

 

Hi there Jrmntr - Welcome to AD.

Happy posting!
