Went down to watch a couple grandsons play football yesterday. The oldest
wanted to see if his feet reach the footpegs yet. That's been the criteria
for his first ride. Well, now they reach, so all he needs is some proper
clothing and he's good to go!

SAY WHAT!
Maybe some lessons on how to handle the bike would be nice.
JustWait has a training program going. Includes obscene gestures for anyone
under 10.


Who is the 80-year-old old fart on the front of that bike? If that is
herring, he surely has aged a lot - and badly - since I last saw him.


He for being well into his 60's I'd say he'd doing pretty good.


and I really don't know, but i would imagine that if he wanted he
could "drop and give 30" *fairly easily.


Probably not. I hate pushups. My arms are long, which makes them harder to
do. I could never do one pullup, which kept me out of Airborne school. Most
arm spans are within an inch of a person's height. My arm span is five
inches longer than my height. Makes buying long sleeved shirts a bitch.

Pull ups never really bothered me. but at the time 40 was about it.

I can't do sit ups any more due to a couple hernia operations, however
I can still do a live stand up gig holding a 12 lb. bass guitar for
four hrs. with no breaks.
