Getting a gun for your birthday in the same year you started school, gun licences did not exist. Parents took responsibility for raising their own kids. Bike helmets were not the norm, you would be called a spaso and have no friends if you wore one. 12 or 13 years old I took an old shotgun to workshop class and restored it back to usable. Try that one these days

Dunno pal, you want examples of " you know your old when" then go on to have a go at me. Here is another " you know your getting old when" you could not be bothered arguing with fools who obviously get many recoil slaps to the head at school. I guess there are those that don't realise it was pretty much a normal thing.

When at 53 your out Mountain Biking and while racing down a steep gully the bike somersaults and I go flying over the handle bar and ouch, 2 broken ribs and a very, very sore tailbone. Now 3 months latter I'm all better and taking it much easier and walk the new tracks before I start riding them at speed.

when you start enjoying climbing again ... And focus on fitness, initially with the view of enjoying the descending, but then getting all obsessed with diet and suddenly become a roadie ... WTF ... Not me yet, but I can and have seen it happen. :shocked:

When your wife asks you....(while she's laughing at you)...

"....so where is the next interesting place you will be sprouting new hair from...??"

....and you answer,

"....not from my fucking head, that's for sure..."

When it's only 7pm and you're shaking the fist at the new neighbours over the road (Anglicare transitional housing) because they've just spent the last hour beeping car horns constantly, slamming house and car doors, and swearing at the top of their voices over swapping car places in the driveway.

I could end up all shaved, if I find the right beautician. But considering I never speak to or visit beauticians, I don't know how that will happen.

^Sony is apparently pressing vinyl again ... So the Tellie tells me.

YKYGOW ... You aren't up to date on the latest tech ... Except where you need to be ... I just have no idea about cranks, BBs, chain ring types ... I have no idea where GXP sits in the Hierarchy. I've lost complete knowledge of Fox and Rockshox forks and rear shocks ... Not that I'm not interested, but I just couldn't be arsed.
