sucks getting old, or maybe wiser

[dean1963]

i've rode dirt bikes and off road buggies and quads all my life until i hit 50ish.
as i've always been the " hold my beer and watch this" type of guy and i'm paying for it now at 60.
1 of the last times i rode, and this is no bullshit, i was on my brute force 750 twin trying to climb a rock face that nobody else would try.
flipped it near the top and i rolled down the hill, fucking quad rolled down and landed right beside me on it's wheels and still running, almost like it was saying we can do this.
so like an idiot i jump on and hit it again. same result.
so now i'm pissed off that i can't do this rock face, ok, 1 more try.
well this time the bitch landed on my knee and i was crippled for 12 weeks.
sold all 3 of my quads after that and 2 bikes.
now my son has 2 bikes and i really want to ride again.
but am smart enough to say no.
been tempted to buy a sxs.

I hear ya! I've been pretty rough on my body but I guess I got lucky in the genetics dept. No major health issues other than a few aches and pains that will be alleviated in a few weeks after I've dried and cured!!

Closest I came to a life threatening injury was getting sucked into a tree hole while I was skiing through them. I hit the trunk so hard it cracked the helmet I was wearing and busted a tooth.....thank god I was wearing a helmet as I'm old school and love to feel the wind in my hair like when I ride a motorcycle but safety first.

I find that as I get old...2.0 reading glasses are way better than a jewelers loupe could ever be for checking trichs
