No sex shaming please.
Horrible way to exit, sorry to hear. A good reminder to get out and enjoy what we can while we can.
It was definitely shit for his family, quite a bit shit for the rest of us but not so shit for our mate since, while he was often frustrated by his minds failings, he was never able to dwell on it. I'm learning these days to always look to the positive. More so since I'm by far the youngest of my riding bunch...
One thing that does suck about getting old is the fact that more people you know die. But in your mates case I agree, it would not be something you would want to drag on for years just slowly loosing your mind.
I've lost 4 friends 58-62 years old in the last 2 years. All massive heart attack. All died before they hit the ground. That's the way I want to go. Sorry for your loss.
That's really no age at all, so sorry to hear that.
Condolences.
I'm the same and I wonder what I'll be like in 10 or so years time.
It's not a magic bullet, but giving your brain a workout can apparently help eg learning a new language, & varying your routine. Also supplements like Alpha GPC daily are helpful. I used to get crushing migrane headaches every so often. since taking Alpha GPC, haven't had one for a number of years. It's also supposed to be useful for maintaining/enchancing cognitive function. I get my Mum to take it daily. I notice the difference when she has missed a day or two, because we ran out etc.
The really important thing is to never ever live in fear. Ever. Max never did. Neither should the rest of us.
Irrational fears, fear of the unknown or what might happen tomorrow, sure but sometimes when the surf is good and you see fins (triangles not curved) gliding about as the sun is going down that fear is telling you not to be unwise.
Probably riding from Penguin to Railton and then riding Raptor ridge and then riding home.
Well I have rode from Penguin to Railton and back home so I could add a Raptor Ridge loop in as well by then.
That was me in the casualty desk for a while there.You know you're getting old when you go in for surgery and the nurses recognise you
Just getting some vanity surgery, 4 dental implants. I reckon my mouth will be a bit sore this time tomorrow night. Then you have to wait 6 months for them to bed into the jaw before they stick the prosthetic tooth into it.
Full face helmet for you.You know you're getting old when you go in for surgery and the nurses recognise you

So do they put in temporary prosthetic teeth in for that 6 months?You know you're getting old when you go in for surgery and the nurses recognise you

No. I had them extracted at various times and had nothing there anyway. I grind my teeth and cracked them. Have to wear a mouthguard to bed. Anyway the implant is a metal base that gets implanted into the jaw bone. Once the bone grows and there is union and it becomes permanent then they can attach the artificial teeth, which takes about 6 months. All this means is that if these teeth get damaged or worn you can "easily" replace them.
