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.

Pfffff..I could do over 70 real strict pushups.
Once in community college, a group of classmates bet me I couldn't do one
handed pushups... I was on number 15 when one of the guys jumped on my back.
I collected of course. I also liked doing headstand pushups, although I
usually needed a wall or something to keep my balance.

You missed your calling. Michael Phelps is built the same way.

Someone might want to wash and wax that rat bike. Maybe check the oil
and tire pressure too. Looks severly neglected.

Thanks. It's a little old, an '89, but it'll still outperform any Harley I
know of, except maybe the Buell. I've not come up against one of those yet.

My grandkids all want me to take them for a ride, but first their feet have
to be able to rest on the passenger pegs. And toes only doesn't count!

I'm sure you know, but they make some nice jackets for street now.
Turtlebacks with spinal protection, kidney, elbow... And of course, as
you already know, buy a new fitted brain bucket, never used...

Good luck, and remember, you will be creating a monster
