when you realise that full power vmax is just a bit too much Haha ! And you start thinking about something slower, so you can still wring its neck but just not end up at warp speed ! My "reality" moment came when I whacked the throttle of my Aprilia open at 90mph and the front wheel lifted, when I felt it hit the ground I was doing 135. |

when you realise that full power vmax is just a bit too much The vmax is quite mild mannered if you don't crank it up, its classed as a tourer, at least that was what I told my son. it was when I was negotiating to buy one a few years back that my oldest son made me make a promise to him that I would not buy any more bikes Looking back, he was right, I didn't like it but he was right. Its that getting older moment when you realise that your son has become "the parent" |

popping along at 70 mph on a homemade reliant trike can be quite exciting especially when i,m driving, gives me the grin factor anyway

I quite fancy one. You can keep the trike though, unless it's like this:  |

You know you’re getting old when your birthday cards turn up with “ you are 60 “ on the front

You're getting old when....
0-60 makes you think of your life, not your car ;-)

When both your grandfathers had died before they got to the age you are now. And in your mind you remember them both as really old men
