smarter maybe.........older , for sure 12 Months ago  
I was thinkin about the bikes and the circumstances I've had and was amazed that I survived. The first bike was an old used up Honda 500?? 4 cylinder with so much paint paint on it with the finish colour a shiity brown. It was all I could afford, NEVER checked the tire presure, never changed the oil and if I hit 70mph it would speed wobble etc etc. Rode it rain or shine. Head light worked most of the time.
I won't get into all the circumstances, most were illegal but I will say that one morning my 1000 Verago was leaning up against the house. I had a lady flake out on me on the back once on the 401...wow

Anyway, now I check the pressure weekly, change the oil religiously, clean & polish continually and stare at it allot.

I think I just may have had more fun back in the day but ya never know what the future brings.

Oh ya, I do not drink and drive now. I very rarely speed.

jeezus I reeally am getting old eh?

I agree. With age comes knowledge.
Mostly knowledge on what not to do.

bushjackson, why was your 1000 Virago leaning up against your house? I had a 1000cc Virago... Kai

I agree totally about age comes with wisdom...cause if ya don't you're dead on 2 wheels. Old saying "there are old bikers but no old bold bikers"...

these are pictures of a Virago I modified back in 1994...I think Yamaha came down and took pictures cause in 1999 the Roadstar came out...
