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! |

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  |

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?
