====================================
Perks of reaching 50 or being over 60 and heading towards 70!
01. Kidnappers are not very interested in you.
02. In a hostage situation you are likely to be released first.
03. No one expects you to run--anywhere.
04. People call at 9 pm and ask, did I wake you?
05. People no longer view you as a hypochondriac.
06. There is nothing left to learn the hard way.
07. Things you buy now won't wear out.
08. You can eat supper at 4 pm.
09. You can live without sex but not your glasses.
10. You get into heated arguments about pension plans.
11. You no longer think of speed limits as a challenge.
12. You quit trying to hold your stomach in no matter
who walks into the room.
13. You sing along with elevator music.
14. Your eyes won't get much worse.
15 . Your investment in health insurance is finally beginning to pay
off.
16. Your joints are more accurate meteorologists than the national
weather service.
17. Your secrets are safe with your friends because they can't
remember them either.
18. Your supply of brain cells is finally down to manageable size.
19. You can't remember who sent you this list.
And you notice these are all in Big Print for your convenience.
Forward this to everyone you can remember right now!
And Never, under any circumstances, take a sleeping pill and a
laxative on the same night.

Ah yes, the three M's of mid-life: mustache, motorcycle, and mistress.
Always felt cheated that all I could muster was the mustache.

Might be prudent for him to check if his life insurance as been increased
recently.

What list?
Passed my bike test at the glorious age of 59, just a few weeks after her in
doors passed hers.
We are founder members of The Old Fa*ts Motor Bike Club. We take trips out
with stupid big grins on our faces and when we get back we try to remember
where we've been and who we are.
Great fun
Hope you enjoy your biking as much as we do.
PS Her indoors has just told me she's not a member of the OFMBC. Now I don't
know who I go riding with!!

Way back when I was about 20, my fraternity brother would ponder the
some of the things he wanted to do before he died:
1) Hunt Kodiak bear.
2) Lay on the beach under the shade of a palm tree on some South
Pacific island and sip cold drinks served by scantly clad girls.
3)Run barefooted over an endless field of naked women's breasts.
4) Perform cunninglus.
Last time I asked, he still hadn't hunted Kodiak bear yet.

I've got mine trained. She only complains when I have more than 1
motorcycle at a time :-).

The only reason I would take up exercising is
so that I could hear heavy breathing again.

Tomorrow is the most important thing in life. Comes into us at midnight
very clean. It's perfect when it arrives and it puts itself in our hands.
It hopes we've learned something from yesterday.
