LOF - That's OK, we don't hold it against you (not too much anyway). I know I do, and I bet some others do too - have a pair of jeans or some clothes hanging around older than you. like WW's gloves. I even have some stuff from my father too, that's probably 75+ years old that I can't throw out and I'll probably give them to my kids to save. They don't make stuff like that anymore.
And speaking of women, whatever happened to the gals on here? We don't seem to hear from them much anymore.
And whoever said that you're just as old as you feel, all of a sudden it starts to catch up with you and you begin to realize how old you are and that you're not a kid anymore. So just enjoy it as long as you can and that's what us senior and more seasoned guys are doing.

Oh, man. The coolest stuff that I have is from my grandfather and my dad. Like my '76 MG Midget, the photo collection I have of their old cars, and my '79 Suzuki T250 (That I still haven't finished restoring...) Old watches from the 60s, pocket knives from the 50s...Just all kinds of crazy stuff. Speaking of Indian fringe, I also have a handmade suede-fringed hippy jacket... I think it was my free-spirited mom's though. It's so cool it has 3/4 sleeves and shows hairy stomach if you don't wear a shirt, which I do quite often.

I forget sometimes that I'm the baby around here... I guess I always have been but I never really stop and think about it. The demographic for this bike seems to be "well-aged" gentlemen, and some women. I'm not really sure what that makes this freshly-pruned 30 year old.

Yeah, I got boots older than you.
Now if I can remember where I put them... :??:

67 last month, not through yet.

P?S. Cool gloves.

We weren't "keepers" in my family, but, I do have my bowl from when I was a baby...it is 54 yrs old this year. Somewhere I have a sock my grandmothers grandmother knit for her as a baby. My Uncle Hugh Edward O'Rourkes naturalization papers from 1881 when he came from Ireland as well as my grandparents marriage license from 1917 is around in a box

Those things as well as the ones we all have from our parents and grandparents are totally priceless and irreplaceable.
