Nothing wrong with having a mid life crisis.....as long as it doesn't involve a pony tail!I like that.
It's quite possibly a bit of a mid-life crisis thing but a friend of mine and I are thinking of getting our motorcycle licences. If we do I'll definitely take a look at one of those!

Yeah..Well the The Triumph Bonnie Held the World Speed Records for Donks & were the Sports Bike of their Era..A Lot of Folks Forget that..Not so Long Ago either..Those Recent Retro Bonnies are Way Under Powered, Cheap Made, Vibrators & an Original Bonnie would Blow them into the Weeds & is a Much Smoother Ride..Still recall the thrill I had seeing a Triumph Bonneville on a stand in Alexander's motorcycles in Glasgow with its' " The Fastest Motorcycle in the world " placard in front. Must have been in the early 1960s. Part of the sales pitch was that the model number was the T120 because if it wouldn't do 120 Triumph would take it back and tune or blueprint it until it did. Happy days. Unfortunately the only ones I ever got to ride were the firm's machines.

I ride 2 strokes. Reliable as gravity, and cheap to rebuild every few years. Love it when folks twice my age on bike forums froth at the mouth when i mention using cheap conventional mineral oil that meets OEM specification requirements, chainsaw bar oil on chains and foam air filters, smoke pluming premix ratios, standard nickel-alloy plugs rather than iridium / platinum gimmicks, rider skill outweighs needle in a haystack tyre choice etc..
Best thing i ever did was discontinue employing Dell'Orto carburetors, and stuck with the "how far from 4 stroking" method by jetting overly rich so they fire on every 4th cycle until leaned out in small increments.. rather than waste money chopping a dozen plugs in half to inspect insulator color for safe a/f ratios.
