ya know? it is funny. times they are a changing! im 64 now, still riding! been riding for a lot of years. yea, ive gone down twice. one of our (me and my riding buds) favorite sayings to each other was (SUCK IT UP MAN, THATS WHAT HAPPENS ON A MOTORCYCLE!) our bald heads, arms, legs, hands, ears, everything, burned up by the sun!!! people would say, you guys are burned the **** up! and we would just say, yea, that happens when you ride a bike! it was like a badge of HONOR!!!!! one of my buds got hit by a bird right in the neck, while riding and went down and got got rashed up but good. we said, yea, **** happens when you ride a bike!!! when a lady "leffted" right in front of number one in line, and me number two, and he hit the side of her car, and flew over it, and landed in the ditch on the side of the road, while i crashed and burned, to keep from crashing into the side as he did, and we missed four weeks of work, we said, yup, when you ride, ya gotta take the bitter with the sweet. we never even gave ATGATT a second thought! in ohio, at that time, there was no helmet law. even when there was one, if we were not going to ride on the main roads, we would just strap them on the back seat, and stay on the back roads. and really it wasnt the cool factor at that time, cause hell, whos gonna see you on the back roads? we just hated wearing helmets. just sayin, MAN, TIMES ARE SURE DIFFERENT NOW. now its cover your arms so you dont get sunburned, wear a helmet to cover and protect your head, wear an armoured jacket to protect your hide, wear steeled toed boots to protect your feet, and so on and on and on!!!!! but, like we say now, TO EACH HIS OR HER OWN. yall keep on winginit rick
