Oxygen tanks might prove more useful than the snorkel; and wouldn't the flippers get in the way of gear changes?

Now you just being silly!!!..

You only need flippers to get to bike.. wouldn't dream of wearing them while riding (The Aerodynamics are all wrong!!)

Re: Pre-senile dementia? Or Mid-life crisis?

I'm not sure aerodynamics count under water, and you might find it difficult to get the helmet on over the breathing apparatus. I foresee difficulties from the get go. Remember, A.T.G.A.T.T!

Re: Pre-senile dementia? Or Mid-life crisis?

I totally agree with you on the point of wanting to park your bike and not another like it park next to you in the next five minutes. That is why I built my blade, Whatta ya fink?

Funny how no one seem to have yet wished you a happy birthday, so have one from me. Remind yourself this - "Growing old, biology; growing up, mentality".

If you're not already into fitness/ physical training, I very strongly suggest that you do, as leathers don't expand quite as easily as humans do.

As far as the bike goes, there's lots of ideas floating around already; and as a noob I'd better ST*U

Happy birthday, SSB! Make it your day

SSB - Im surprised you made it through the night with all of your body parts intact - Well I hope you did!

About the payment, I'm still trying to find a courier who will deliver the two live goats, a pig, a big pile of sh*t also known as manure, a blanket and the missus hair brush... Got any suggestions?
